The socket for that carrier bearing retaining nut is about 1.375 or 1.5 inches based on visual. Threads are around 1.00 inch diam and fine thread. It is also torqued very tight, kind of like a pinion nut on an automotive size differential.
My wife said the same thing about always taking another vehicle with us to keep from being stranded. I usually do take a vehicle, so this was an atypical case. Of course Murphy always finds those exceptions........
