Default Rear axle nut size?
What size is the rear axle nut? I'm pretty sure I don't have a socket large enough to fit it and I need to loosen it to adjust my belt tension.

Take a look at pit posse racing or georges-garage for some good socket alternatives.

I bought a 36mm socket but mines definately not 36mm. It's much smaller. Measures roughly 1-1/16" to 1-1/8." It's an 06 Dyna. The nut that I need to loosen to adjust belt tension.
