Yes, the sockets are fairly large. Mine were 1 1/8 but I suspect you might find different size nuts on different rigs. I used a combination of box end wrenches and 3/4 drive sockets to do the job. In most places I had room for the socket/ratchet and since the nuts were the Nylock variety with the Nylon locking insert, you have to put some effort into them to get them off the stud. They don't spin freely until the nylon insert clears the stud. PITA for takeing them off, but then again it keeps them from vibrating loose.
