The 1 13/16" socket I bought from NAPA for $14 works great for the 46mm axle
nuts.  The 3/4" flex drive handle from NAPA was $75 so I bought one from a
local tractor supply for $19.  Removal and tightening to the proper torque
with a pipe extension and body weight works so smoothly.  Using a proper
socket is so much easier than hitting a lug bolt or wheel with a hammer by
accident.
