Front wheel bearing lock tabs

[GopherHill]

Just wanted to know what is used to bend the lock over the outer wheel bearing nut? Did you make a tool or does a tool exist to make that job go better.
Big trucks have a locking rings with individual tabs and that is easy.

I use a old screwdriver or a dull cold chisel. Doesn’t take much - just carefully get behind it and pry it up from being flat. Then tamp one bit over on to a flat surface of the nut.
