Yep, that is what I have done - but the locking washer is in bad shape so I felt a little unhappy with the job. The stake nut did not fit for me - as the flange seems to not fully fit on - it overhangs a bit.

James, thank you very much for your help. It bearing kit i used (link above) from Paddock is the only one I could find which seems for my 300TDI (the kit says "from LA" which i think roughly translates from 1994 with rear disc brakes). I have the two nut with lock washer in now, but the kit...
