[Tigers] Off Topic---weird tool

[Smit, Theo]

Not particularly weird, but it's the largest fastener on the car by some
margin (I think the next largest would be 15/16") and has the highest torque
spec by about 50% over any other nut or bolt on the car, which means that a
lot of people have nothing in their toolbox that will come close to either
fitting or being able to torque or untorque that nut. Not that that matters,
either... nobody in their right mind plays with the rear axle nuts on the
Tiger.
