I'm looking for a castellated socket 2" OD with 6 tangs, splines,
whatever
they are called. Google just runs me back and forth thru India, NSW
and
other places. Anyone know of a source?

Like a 4WD hub nut socket?


That'd be just a trip down to NAPA, etc., and would probably require a
special deep socket.

As usual, I'm jonesing to know *what* the weird tool is gonna be used
for.

Dave: I need this for the nut holding the yoke on top of the rotor shaft
for my Baby Belle helicopter.


Is this the one that helicopter mechanics in Vietnam called the "Jesus
nut"? You're a brave man, Stu. d8-)

Yep one and the same. Not brave, just stupid enough to try a bunch of
things.
