I use a dull cold chisel to make the indentation. A complete writeup is

Subject: Front axel nut "peening"

Ok I am ready to install a new disc on each front axel. After reviewing
Bently one thing still perplexes me...
How does one "peen" the front axel nut?
Hit it with a hammer but where, in the middle, on the end, with a pin of
some sort to direct the blow... ????
