That's a little over-sized, it is actually 36mm, as mentioned above. In my modest experience, that nut can require some serious effort to undo, if it has been left undisturbed for a long while, so a good fit is a good idea!

you are right, of course, but if you already have imperial tools, the ~20-thousanths won't matter enough to buy a new socket. But I suspect the OP does not own the correct size and wants to buy the right tool for the job.
