if you're really stuck for a socket the you can use water pump pliers or eagle beaks or whatever you choose to call them or just a large enough pair of pliers. The nut is barely over finger tight anyway.

its normally the only greasy socket in the upper range of my socket set anyway so i never look at the size. xxx
