 Are newer hubs heavier, thicker-walled?  Are newer sockets?  Am I doomed?
 The bore of the hub appears to be 1 and 11/16 inches (measured with a tape
 measure, not a micrometer) and the Snap-on socket about 1 and 3/4.

Matt,

I had exactly the same problem until some kind soul on this list told me 
exactly what to buy.  This is it: SK  1 5/16th socket 40142.  I ordered it 
from an on-line operation--sorry, forget the name--and it came promptly.  
Sadly, my nut was frozen on and it took the shop, two men, a water bison and 
that strong boy to remove it.  But I've got the socket for the job now.
Good luck.
