I think it's a 32mm nut, a 1 1/4" socket is almost exactly the same size (hint).

Yeah, if you have a 32mm that's the one to use. The 1 1/4" is almost exactly the same size as the 32mm (.009" different) so you can use it instead if that's the one you have.

Of course it worked. It's only 0.009" different from a 32mm socket, not even including the manufacturing tolerance between different brands, etc.

That's why I suggested it.
