Why, itching to use a big socket? My guess is no, but I believe that is the size a had to buy for my VWs stupid oil filter.

picked it up thinking it was right size for my truck pitman arm....Not, I have a 33mm for wheel bearing so guess I will take it 36mm back. Funny nobody had a 1-5/16 I really wanted except in a 3/4 drive and sears didn't even have a 33 mm period...what's up with that. thanks for reply

I seem to remember using a 36mm socket on the rear axle nuts of VW Beetles back many years ago. Last Beetle I had would run 13's. I loved embarrassing muscle cars in the 70's.
