Default Wheel hub replacement ? from a newbie!

First, hello and what a great looking website. I seached the boards for these questions and found a couple of great write-ups that I will use to assist me in replacing the wheel hubs. I'm working from a couple resource manuals, chiltons and alldata diy online manual. ? 1) when installing the driveshaft into the hub alldata calls for a 3-4mm bead of anaerobic adhesive p/n 1161370-0( metal adhesive ). I called the dealer, 60 bucks a tube Is this some type of locktite? If so anyone have any suggestions on whick one? 2nd?) When reinstalling the axle nut the book calls out for tool 5461 or equivalent to counterhold the hub while applying torque. Where can I find such a tool? Can i get it as tight as I can and put the wheel on and lower the car to put just enough weight on it to stop the wheel from turning?

Thanks in advance!!

You really don't need the loctite.

Yes you can lower the car some if you socket fits through the wheel center to tighten it.
Or if you have a compressor and impact tighten it as much as you can with that first then lower the car and get it to specs.
