Rear Nut

Here's the previous question and answer.

It has been said here before that an american 2 3/16" socket fits almost exactly. I have not had one to confirm this, but if you do the math:

2 3/16 (2.1875) * 25.4 = 55.5625

I see in the snap on catalog that they have a 55mm socket, which is probably the right one because I haven't found a 56mm. Still, I wouldn't take what I just said as gospel. Any good tool shop will have this stuff on hand and will allow you to go and fit it onto the nut.

Maybe someone else can confirm for sure what the size is. I believe this part is order-able from MV as a dealer "special tool".

55mm is the size,i bought a britool one as its a third of the price of a snap on one -just have a play with emery up around the flats to remove any sharp edges-works fine
