Easy question

I don't want to assume so hoping someone can confirm. I'm fixing to replace the radius arm and axle pivot bushing on my '86. I was checking to confirm I had all the right tools before getting started and sure enough I'm shy one socket - one to fit the radius arm nut. The 1" is too small and the 1 1/4" is too big. Before I go spring for the 1 1/8" socket I *think* is the ticket, is that the right size? TIA

Groovy, thanks. You know how every now and then Ford likes to surprise you with a metric nut. And I figure I'll have to lean on it pretty good to get them loose. Hate to strip one out...
