Axle nut question

[RedneckEX]

So, I need to tear down the rear axle assembly on my EX, and cannot find a CRESCENT wrench big enough for the locknut on that bastid! Do you guys know the exact size so I can order up some open end wrenchs? I'm guessing it's in the 2 1/4 inch range? Thanks for the help!

I think most people just use a pipe wrench. I did and it worked fine.
