The rear nut is 36mm.Torque to 95-105 ft. lbs.
Front axle is 50-55 ft. lbs.
The front axle holder nuts get torqued to 132-180 in. lbs.

You can find that 36 mm wrench in your tool kit or you will have to go to Sears for a socket. I can tell you that neither Home Depot or Lowe's will carry a socket of that size so don't waste your time.

I bought two of these Sears sockets that worked fine with the stock 12" SG shocks and (barely) 12½" Progressive 440's I installed later. At $8.79 each they won't break the bank.
When I installed 13¼" Ohlins a few months ago my easy-axle-removal days were suddenly over, and in the future I'll either need to remove both mufflers or just the left muffler and buy an adapter for the right (nut) side, as the socket will not clear the right muffler now. The 36mm box-end wrench included in my stock HD tool kit is inadequate for much of anything and you can't attach a torque wrench to it.
