Hey guys could somebody verify for me the size of the crankshaft nut? Is it 40mm and will your average 1 5/8" socket fit?

I have a super cheap SAE set I use and never have had a problem with the mondo big nuts like that. there is so much surface you can not strip it. it is also handy when you want to turn the crank some. I also use the big sockits to remove and install bushings(with some thread-all and a few washers) and to install shaft seals.
I think it cost me $30 or so at ACE like 15 years ago. I have used that big set for a lot of stuff.
this looks like thse same set I have but metric

40mm and 1-5/8 in are in fact the same size for wrench purposes.

ok well that socket should be here in a few days... now how about the tool for inserting the front oil ring for the crankshaft behind the front cover? is that some big stupid socket like the rear wheel bearing tool!?
thanks,
