Mainshaft nut

Do any of you out there know the size of the mainshaft nut on an 07 softail? Harley makes and sells special tool #HD-47910. But, if Im not mistaken all it is is a deep socket. Just dont know what size. I think 1.5" but not positive. If anyone knows the size, please let me know.

Also, if you know the size of the engine sprocket bolt.

thanks

Ok, the special HD tool is 2 1/4" I think.

Im doing my stator on Sunday. Do I need this tool to take off the primary chain and compensating sprocket? According to the service manual it doesnt look like I will have to.

Nevermind everyone, I spoke to a good tech I know and he told me that the mainshaft nut will not need to be removed.
