this may seem like a stupid question and i apologize in advance if you can't stop laughing...

i need to replace a cv boot and all of the write-ups say not to reuse the axle nut. okay, but none of the dealers ( 4 ) in the area have them and online the $3 nut costs $15 in shipping...

so my question - is there something special about the nut or is it a generic / standard nut?
