Agreed
I think i saw one in O'Riellys. And i bought new hub nuts for a 4Runner from o'riellys
Shade tree method with no 54mm socket . . .
Nuts are cheap, if you can get them when you need them.
Use a hammer and a large screwdriver, or small sharp cold chisel, ¼" pin punch might also work if it has a sharp shoulder . . .
Put the screwdriver against the point of the nut , use hammer to drive nut anti clockwise to undo it.
You'll need to do this from multiple corners to crack the nut loose and get it moving.
The screwdriver will dig into the nut, the nut will end up burred up. File the burrs flat to re-use the nuts, or replace before reassembling.
There's not much gap between the hub and the nut to get in there, but it works, it's also the only method a lot of workshops will use because they won't have a 54mm socket.
You can't get adequate preload on the bearings if you reassemble with the same method, but it's a good method for a bush repair ( or for a shonky shop)
Drive screwdriver in direction of red arrows. Use as much angle as possible to drive it around the circle, you need to get the angle right so the screwdriver bites into the nut, and drives it anti clockwise too
I'd maybe use screwdriver and hsmner to disassemble so you can keep moving. Order new nuts and a 54mm socket from
