Iv'e done a bunch of these over the years. I would do it just like this every time and never had a problem.

I have had the nut jump off the spindle twice, but both times it was on a Dodge truck. One had 250,000 miles and the other 350,000. That's when I found that there are actually nuts made that address this problem that are just a bit smaller than original and cut their own threads.

I doubt that your car has this much wear on it, but I thought you might like to know that such a product exist if you have trouble with the nut staying tight.
