Anyone know of good staking/unstaking tools to release and set the staking nuts on our Rockets?

For a staked nut I've always just used a sml cold chisel to stake it. To un-stake it, just use a decent powered driver, they will generally undo the staked nut - well, so I've found anyway.

As above, except I use a small chisel or centre punch to unstake as much as possible first.

I have used a chisel, but never looks good when done. I see Amazon has tools to do the job for Toyota car axles. Seems cheap, so I'll order a set.

I wonder why they still use those, seems like other means of locking would be better/easier?

I wonder if you could use an internal tab washer that you could bend up like on a CS sprockets.
