Expert Reply:
It sounds like you are looking for the socket required to install the nut on a 2-5/16" hitch ball like the Curt # C40030 you were looking at.
You will need a 1-7/8" socket like the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket - 3/4" Drive - Chromium-Vanadium Steel # ALL643216.
You will also need a torque wrench that has a high enough rating for the torque your specific hitch ball required.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
