32mm = 1.25" So if you have a 1.25" socket you could try it. They are more common than the metric sockets and just lucky that it is the same size.

Either 1 1/4" or 32mm will work. I have used both sizes.

Has you DAD worked on an RX7 Recently?
Has he had to go out and Actually Buy the Socket?,
..has MR STYX had to go out and Buy the Socket for the Nut on the Half Shafts(axles)?..YES!..it is 32mm!
Tell your Dad he is Wrong..again!(Jokingly!)..sorry Dad.
another odd size socket you may want to pick up too, is the 54 mm,or 2-1/8" socket.For the flywheel nut.
cheers man.STYX.
