The TruRyde Spindle Nut # 165686 has an outer measurement of 1.45 inches. You will use a 1-1/2 inch socket on this castle nut or we usually use a channel lock for these installations. I've attached a video of an installation of a hub to assist. You don't want to torque these down tight as you do want to have slight movement and the cotter pin will keep it in place.
