depends on the year and application. I believe there is an outer and an inner nut. Outer nut is regular style i think, maybe 2-9/16", inner is prong (4/6) type. maybe this is just for the front?
Try carquest, napa, or advance auto

Its been a while since I had to tear into a D60 rear, but if I remember right, there's a notch in the nut and all you have to do is put a cold chisel in the notch and tap it with a hammer in the direction you want the nut to go. It shouldn't be on there too tight, the lock washer really holds everything in place. Once you get the lock nut(outside one) on finger tight, the most you need to keep turning the lock nut is an 1/8th of a turn...or 45 degrees IIRC. Be sure to completely bend the lockwasher tabs tight against both the bearing nut and the lock nut and your golden.

no, im not that far yet...im on the outer hub nut. its basicly a normal nut, but you need a thin wall socket to fit down in the end of the hub to reach the nut. Thanx Dukie, i think i found one at sears actually. yea, the nut is actually not slotted or nicked anywhere. that was actually the first thing that i looked for. I wont lie tho, i am still considering die grinding a little notch in it so i can chisel/hammer it out instead of dropping 30$ on a single socket
