    Do you mean the large nut that separates the u-joint yoke so that the bearing can be removed from the drive shaft? If that is what you are looking for any auto parts store or good hardware store should have the correct socket. Note that you my need an impact wrench as it is torqued pretty tight. You will also need a puller for the yoke and the carrier bearing removal.

    This link is first Generation which is slightly different, but you should be able to sort it from there.
