OK,try this:

You'll need a 1.29921 inch socket.

If the local tool store doesn't have one of those(or they're just out of them at the moment),you can substitute a Thirty-Three Millimeter socket -it'll be the same size,but will be marked 33mm,instead of 1.29921 inches

But it does grow 1mm everytime you start a thread, so now you need a 35mm.
