Liquid, I see that you have removed two of the four prongs on the hub nut tool, but you MUST grind the existing two prongs "thinner" so that the overall diameter of the tool is smaller. Take a look at the picture of the tool that I altered and you can see that the two remaining prongs have been ground down from the outside in allowing them to fit into the holes in our hub nut.
You're right there!! Just grind the two prongs thinner until the distance from the outside of one prong to the outside of the other prong is a little less than 2 1/8" and the tool should fit in with no problem.
Oh, and I found a set of three picks (one straight, one right angle, and one obtuse angle) at my local auto parts store. You don't really need them, but it makes it easier to fish the locking ring out. You could probably do the job with a small screw driver. My locking ring was gooped to the hub nut with grease so the picks just allowed me to grab it and wiggle it loose so I could get it with my fingers.
I'll pm you my phone number so you can give me a call if you'd like.
