1985 Bronco II Auto locking hubs help

[Forlorn]

So, I'm replacing many of the parts in front end of my B2, and I end up snapping the only part I can't find anywhere
The part I snapped is the Wheel Bearing adjusting nut. I can find ones for the 90 and up, but they do not fit, and there are conversion kits, but those are a bit pricy for me.
Any help with buying links would be appreciated along with a torque spec would be nice.

Here's a couple of places in Indiana that list 4x4 hubs. They may be manual though. If they were not too expensive you could convert.

Unless you’re really a fan of the auto hubs (most people are not, they had a tendency to not work when you needed them to), I’d go junkyard shopping for manual hubs and the nuts. That’s also your best shot for auto hub parts.

You have a D-28 front, which parts are getting pretty scarce for those and they were notoriously weak. If you can find a D-35 (Ranger 90-97 with a 4.0 for sure but later models may have had it for all engines, and Explorers 91-94 all engines), it is a bolt-in swap if you find one with matching gears to yours. There’s also still aftermarket support for the D-35
