You might not have to order it, I got mine at monument auto if you have those around. Also, I hear the standard 2 1/8" socket works too so a hardware store or sears might have it.

the nut lines up with something inside that is bent over the nut to keep it from vibrating out. You can get it tight with my method, probibly not the best.
Not sure about torque, but the nut needs to line up with the washer behind it so you can bend the washer over it, if you torque it it might not line up......
This method is for solid axle (birfields), might be different for IFS

If the preload is not set properly you will destroy the bearings, and it is not possible to set the preload with the hammer and chisel method.
They are identical.

If so, where did you but it?
I have asked a couple Toyota mechanics where I could buy a sping gauge and they told me they don't use one or if they did use one once or twice, after doing it a couple times they can do by feel now and don't need it.
So, every time I have repacked my front wheel bearings or changed the rotor or something I just follow the instructions in the shop manual for setting the preload, but I have never verified it with a spring gauge .

The only IFS part they are for is...
The nut after the lock out the holds the wheel bearings. This is only 86-95 IFS.
Since the person who asked appeared to have a Taco...
Taco's have a 35mm one. IIRC
