missing nut from front axle
So I am replacing the front brake rotors on my truck. I took the cap off and there was no nut in the hole. I'm not sure what the nut is for or why it's gone (manual and YouTube both show a nut in that slot). I do know I've been driving around for 8 months without it though. How crucial is it for me to get a replacement?

dont take this for gospel but i believe the hole there is for ADD style drive flanges and a bolt goes in there under the cap on the flange.
on locking hubs If you have the snap ring still youll be fine and a bolt isnt needed

I'm not sure what its for but every solid axle truck I've has had it and all my trucks are manual hub.
Like posted above it comes in handy when putting the snap ring on to keep the axle from sliding back in.
