Does the axle nut for the 1.6 work on the 1.8 axle? Just got my diff swap and it didnt come with the nuts.

Depends on the year of the axle. The older 1.8 axles yes, newer ones no.
However I recommend purchasing new axle nuts as part of the swap. Even though many people do re-use them, best practice is to get new nuts as they are intended for one time use.
