Hello , can anyone tell me where I can purchase an axle lock nut removal tool kit? Or does anyone know how to improvise a tool for this job. Thanks

Go to a reputable auto parts store/sears/mac tools/ or any place that sells tools and buy the socket to remove the nut.
I am fairley sure it is 30mm and has to be a 12point socket. I can check the size tomorrow.
Yes it is a 30mm 12 point socket
Torque nut to 217 ft/lbs

You have to pull out the bent end of the nut too. If you dont you will destroy the threads on the axle shaft. It is a 12 point socket. If you rebend the bent end out correctly, you can re use the nut. although I recommend changing it. The torque is 219 newton meters. Thats 219 X 1.363 = foot pounds.
