Hello,
I have a Proto 5570 - 2 3/16" socket with a 3/4 to 1/2 adapter that works
well. The socket is expensive new but I was lucky enough to find a used one.

I had the same problem and searched all over before I found one that would
work. I took the axle nut with me to several stores and all the 2-3/16th
sockets (and other sizes) seemed too loose. I then went to a Northern Tool
store and sized it to each large socket they had. The KLUTCH 55mm socket
Item # 40856 fit the nut tight, better than anything else I ever tried.

Socket
At only $14.99 it was a great deal compared to other sockets I had seen. I
purchased the socket, used a ? to ? adapter and was able to torque it to
spec. Note: It turned out to be a bit too snug in the socket so I very
lightly hand filed the roughness on the flats of the nut and it worked
perfectly.
Best,
Dan Corning
