The nut that holds the bearings in place is circular with 4 notches in the rim. I've never had to take the bearings out in my sammy so I don't know how different it is. For my ford, the socket cost me about $12.

Pretty much hacked 2 of the teeth off and whacked it with a sledgehammer untill the remaining 2 teeth hit fit in the holes. Makes it rough to use with hand tools, it just slips off, had to use the impact wrench.
