Dennis,I'm not sure how a standard hex or 12 point socket would work on the
octagonal nut.? I've seen a few posts where they had modified a standard socket
by welding on a plate with an octagonal cutout, but I don't have a welder.? I
was hoping to source something that works right out of the box.? I'm checking
with local club members to see if anyone has one to loan.John

John,
?
You?ll find a 2 3/16? socket will work, however, I had trouble with the radius
on the socket edge engaging the very thin nut. I took the socket to a machine
shop and had the radius edge removed and it worked very well. I would be happy
to loan you this now very specialized socket. Let me know.
