8.25 rear yoke pinion nut size?

[jeepster_259]

I was going to install a new rear pinion seal on my 8.25 last night. I have a 98 auto. I thought the pinion nut in the rear yoke would be a 1-1/8" socket, turns out it's bigger, and of course that was the biggest socket I had.

Anyone know what size the pinion nut is?
