The nut on the left is 36mm.The axle bolt head on the right is between 1 1/16 and 1 1/8.I didn't have a metric wrench that big.Metric on a Harley?Hmmmmmm.

I'm glad that's cleared up...when I first saw the title of this thread I thought you were talking about Axle Rose's nuts......That seemed like a strange subject to have on this forum to me.

yep, I had the same problem , found a whitworth open ended to fit the axle end and used a shifter (adjustable wrench ) .I didn’t think to measure the diameter of the axle itself . Is it exactly 25 mm .
