As Mo rightly says it's 52mm, you can get deep sockets or a box spanner from the usual outlets. A your machine is later model I'd suggest a socket because that nut should be tightened to 210Nm which is more than I'd subject a box spanner to.
As you have to stake the nut over when torqued up it's also good practice to replace the nut each time as well. Part number for the nut is RDF100000 MM |

Thanks both, found a 2" socket that did the job but on hold now until replacement parts arrive which had now included the nut, bearing and seal.
thanks for the hlep |

I might be trying to teach you to suck eggs but if you're replacing the bearing you will also need to set the end float on the bearing with this type of hub, which differs from the earlier type hub which have 2 lock nuts. There's a good video on Youtube on how to do it, you will need the correct spacer between the bearings, there's 7 of the little
 , each one 0.1mm thicker than it's mate. Trouble is, you won't really know which one you'll need until you have assembled it with the thickest 15.5mm spacer first. Not a problem if you have a supplier nearby, not ideal if you live in the sticks like me.
I ended buying all of them, I'm bound to need them at some time or another and the kit isn't daft money - LR2437 (it's 6 spacers, they don't supply the thinnest 14.9mm one) |

Or scrap the spacer and revert to the twin nut system . No end float measurements and DTi gauges required !
Plenty of info on how to do it on here and I promise you’ll wonder why they bothered with the spacer . In fact, why did they ?! https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |
