Axle nut

Does anyone know what size the axle nut on the rear is? I've searched and haven't found the dimension. By measurement with calipers, it seems like a 1 3/16 will fit but that doesn't convert to anything decimal.

Re: Axle nut

It is a 12 point collar nut and requires a 30 mm socket.

Thanks but it may turn out that I don't need to remove it. Read my post under Howling Rear Diff.

That 1 3/16" is pretty close to a round number in the metric system,
