    Size of nut.

    Ok, looking for some info here, am taking apart the axles and I have come across a snag, there's a nut the size of my head in there holding things together and I have no spanner large enough, would anyone know the size of this nut so I can find me a large enough socket?

    It's a series 2a front axle, just after the castle nut on the shaft there's a giant one held tight with a bent washer, sadly due to the rain I have no picture of it but am figuring there can't ge that many giant nuts on the axle lol.

    Thanks in advance

    Since the Series Landrover, and the Jeep that standardised on this nut size, used Imperial measurements, the size is actually 2 1/16" - but they are commonly sold as 52mm.

    I'm sure I've seen a 54mm tube spanner in Autobarn (it was a cross between a tube spanner & a socket, bar with 1/2" square hole welded across one end). Must be for a Japanese 4WD but is close enough and won't cause damage to the nuts.
