As far as I know it IS a 32mm, I'm unfortunate enough to 
have plenty of exprience with the LH side concerning my
AngleDrive and a worn wheel bearing...

It's best to use a so called "Power-Socket", these have 
a hexagonal opening instead of the more common 
12 pointed ones. The hexagonals have a bigger face 
of contact on the nut, so you can exert more force 
without damaging the nut.

This same thing applies to our lugnuts by the way: 
mine were completely worn from using a 12 pointed socket. 
So bad even that I couldn't even remove them with one 
anymore. A hexagonal socket helped me out there and 
since then I've replaced all of my lugnuts anyway.

Hope this helps,
