This is the part I need.

The local auto parts store let me have a 4wd 6lug spindle nut. He said I could shave off 4 of the lugs to make it fit, but before I go through all the trouble of taking the car apart to get that far I was wondering if anyone had this part and could measure the width of the tool because I think the one I have will be 2 large. Thanks

The socket in the link is the one you need. The 6 lugger that you speak of (of which I have, but they fit Dana 44 axles and such) won't work, too big.

You might have to use a file on the inside of the 2 lugger socket there as well. Some manufacturers make them a tad tight. But it's worth it. Just get that one.

x2 just get that one. I have mine at work but i believe it is 1 15/15" I.D. and 2-1/8" O.D. That's just off the top of my head so do not quote me on that.
