It's big.

I don't have the socket I used to take mine off sitting around here so I can't tell you. 2 1/2 inch maybe?

You can use a 2 and 1/8's socket. I use a 2 and 3/16th's and it works just fine.

2 3/16 it worked on mine, use a big air gun and save u some energy, it took me 30 sec. to take the auto flywheel off and to put the manual one in........

I used a 2 1/8th, its a little loose, but the damn thing is soo big that it wont strip, get a big thick piece of metal, like maybe 2 1/2 feet but like 2 inches and kinka thick, dril holes in it and bolt it to the flywheel and make the other side touch the ground, and than wrench on the nut and it will come. Im squany and I wedged myslef againsed my tires and pulled, that was the easy part haha
