You should have one of these in your tool kit (to measure stuff):

But you could probably use a big adjustable wrench.

2007 takes a 1&1/2". 12 is probably the same but I don't know for sure.

Confirmed: 1-1/2 inch socket for 2012 models as well. The nut used is p/n 45718-60.

Don't even try to use an adjustable wrench on that nut. A 6 point half inch drive 1&1/2 inch socket is the only way to go.

thanks for the input. I was too lazy to pull the stem nut cover to measure the nut. Off to find a socket
