Dave: I need this for the nut holding the yoke on top of the rotor shaft
for my Baby Belle helicopter. I'm overhauling the main rotor transmission.
The castellated nut has just about zero clearance around the outside so the
socket must engage the slots in the castellated nut. So far I've found a
couple of possible candidates: A Dana 70 axle nut Snap-on tool @$80. It is
not clear that it is the right diameter, another is a socket used in turbine
maintenance. It sounds right with the 2" but it has a 1 1/2" drive. The
turbine label will probably induce $$. I'm surprised that this is such a
special item.
