Here is the section in the FSM that talks about the flange and nut. The diagram on page 306 shows it very well.

Pretty straight-forward of using an
in/lb torque beam wrench and
30 mm, double-hex, deep socket to turn the assembled rear differential, axles and wheels. Measure the force needed to move the assembly and note.
Then set the brake to remove the locking nut and flange. Install the new flange and
new locking nut. Torque in incremental steps until the friction torque, previously noted, is met. Then use a punch to peen the top of the locking nut.
I made the
special holding wrench, shown at the first of the section, by using bar-stock and 3 bolts. Took all of 20 min. and I found it came in handy for rear wheel bearing replacement as well.
