Post a link to the spindle nut you found at oriellys. My guess is that it is for a manual hub, not the auto hub.
This is what it should look like. (the side that goes to the bearing is up).
Dorman 13984 is the right one for an auto hub (above pic).
This one is the wrong one for automatic hubs.
I am assuming the tool you are using looks like this...

this is the nut from Oreily's.
And the tool is the same and it's on a size 1/2 inch wrench.
