Dave:

The rear hub nut is not a standard size.  You can sometimes get the nut off
with a crescent, but the best thing to do is either buy or borrow the
correct socket.

The size is 1 61/64"     Moss does sell the correct socket, so you don't
have to mung up the nut with a chisel like most DPOs have done.

Remember too that the nuts are handed.  R/H thread on the Right, and L/H
thread on the left.
