Eberhard,
Yes, the factory tool was an 8 sided socket with a pilot that fit inside
the hub. Churchill 18G258. They do show up on ebay once in a while.
You can use a 12 point 2 3/16" socket. As the nut is thin, I'd suggest
finding someone with a lathe that can remove the inside chamfer from the
socket so you can get as much purchase as possible.
Cheers,
Bob Haskell
