This nut is going to be a large one. It should be a 43mm, but they make a special tool that you can most likely rent rather than buying one as they are not cheap. I would suggest looking info OTC 6006.

Here is a guide that will help with doing this. Clearly this is going to be slightly different, but it will have good info.
