<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"">I had the same problem and searched all over before I found one that would work. I took the axle nut with me to several stores and all the 2-3/16th sockets (and other sizes)
seemed too loose. I then went to a Northern Tool store and sized it to each large socket they had. The KLUTCH 55mm socket Item # 40856 fit the nut tight, better than anything else I ever tried.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"">At only $14.99 it was a great deal compared to other sockets I had seen. I purchased the socket, used a ¾ to ½ adapter and was able to torque it to spec. Note: It turned
out to be a bit too snug in the socket so I very lightly hand filed the roughness on the flats of the nut and it worked perfectly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Where can I get a 2 3/16th hub nut socket for the 8 sided axle nut? I also understand this nut should be torqued down to 180+ ftlb of torque.<o:p></o:p></p>
