Wheel bearing lock nut socket.

Help please,
Where is the best place in Melbourne to buy the socket for changing/servicing the wheel bearings. I believe it is a 52mm socket.
Does this socket fit both the lock nut and preload nut.

Thanks in advance.

If it's a once off you can always flatten out the tab and a small cold chisel will do it. Once you get the outer off the inner will easily turn, and yes, they are the same size.
