Mike,
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.
Northerntool.com 55mm
Socket<http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200653988_200653988>
At only $14.99 it was a great deal compared to other sockets I had seen. I
purchased the socket, used a ? to ? 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.
Best,
Dan Corning

Subject: [Healeys] 2 3/16 Hub Nut Socket
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.
