No. The hole is already drilled through the nut. The hole does not go through
the threads. There is no hole in the bolt. After the nut is installed, the
safety wire is put through the hole and looped tightly to an adjacent object,
perhaps another nut.
I used to wire the wheel nuts on my MG Midget because the light torque
specified for those little 3/8" studs was not enough for the flat washers of
the wheels I was using. After having stock steel wheels (torqued to specs!)
loosen up, I was not going to take a chance with the flat-washer setup on those
alloy wheels.
Of course the same can be done with bolts. The hole is through the bolt head.
