46 mm, aka 1 13/16"


You don't need to take it off for most brake work, and it's quite difficult
to remove (and needs very large torque to replace -- 500 newton-meters and
then turn it to the next position where the cotter pin will fit.  It comes
off very easily if you heat it red hot, but you'll have to buy a new one in
that case, and take care to destroy the old to make sure it never gets used...
