The bearing retainer nuts are two and three sixteenths of an inch.
Not sure where you are but I just went to my local tool place and ordered that size socket. Octagonal.
You are aware that the RHS nuts are RHT and those on the LHS are LHT?

Hi all:
I am trying to replace a leaky wheel bearing seal in my "65 BJ8. The nut that locks the hub on is an 8 sided nut that I measured to be 2.1825"
across the flats. Where do you get a socket to remove that nut. My original Healey workshop manual shows a special service tool in the back for that purpose, but I don't have that.
Any other way of removing that nut? according to the Moss catalog it should be a left hand thread in the left side of the car where I am working.
Thanks for any collective wisdom.
