When you get one, it can be a regular socket. 1-1/2"
This is what I do, put the clutch on the floor, sit down, put one foot on each sideof it, take the nut off with impact wrench, then slowley lift op on your feet. This way you won't have the spring come flying at you.

I can tell you that the socket is also available at Auto Zone for those that are curious. That's where I got mine when I was in a rush. About 2 miles from my house. Smile

Just bring your clutch with you and match it up to be sure if you have doubts on the size. Sockets of that size are hanging loose so you can try them on the large nut.

I just took my clutch apart today and I put the clutch assembly in a vice and used a pipe wrench to remove the nut. It worked great.
