Do I need Axle Nut for the Rear Wheel Bearing?

Hi,

Just wanted to ask if its necessary to replace the Axle
Nut when I replace my rear wheel bearing. According
to the Subaru Technical Bulletins, you have to but I
can't seem to find the part # for the rear wheel bearings.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've used the same axle nut, and put about 30,000 miles on my car since then. I have no problems to this day, I'm sure you can get away with it too. Good luck!
