I dont recall the exact size. But I do recall it being one hard to come by and expensive socket.I had to buy something close to it and modify it a bit. But the correct socket does exist if you can find and purchase it. If you are forced to resort to the chisel and hammer method be EXTREMELY cautious. Those nuts are like gold and the locking tabs arent cheap either.

Usually easy to make from pieces of flatbar welded together.
