I believe the correct size for the wrench is 32mm.

The hardest part is finding a wrench that fits that big nut. You'll 
need a 1-1/4" open end wrench. Torque spec is very high since it 
holds the spindle i.e. the left front wheel on the car too. 

You will probably have to separate the tie rod end too. With a tie 
rod end puller, not a pickefork. 

First, though, disconnect the cable from the angle drive and make 
sure it will turn freely (and that the speedo needle will jump when 
you turn it) if it's stuck somewhere else you can damage the new 
drive. Once I ran into a lambda counter that got sticky and jammed up 
the cable, but this is pretty rare.
