Call your local tool rental; it's a pretty common rental item.

What?  I bought one of these from NAPA for around $20.  I just went in the
shop and looked - it's a KD Tools 2-9/16" socket, part# 2437.  I found it on
mytoolstore.com for $24.25:

If we're talking about the hub nut on a 70 rear axle make sure you get
the rounded hex, not a normal hex. I found them in my local industrial
tool/equipment store for $22.
