That socket braces on the wheel with a 5 point nut type setup and the center smaller portion turns the nut, at near 650 ft lbs. That drive portion which actually removes the nut looks like a large hex bolt with the center milled out, so i wonder if you could fabricate something similar without the gear reduction component. The complex part of the factory part is its a torque multiplier socket. But with a proper long wrench you could get by without that.
Good luck.
And yes, Tony Callas at Callas Rennsport or Canepa would be the calls to make for advice in the US.

@Max2015 good luck to you sir. Neither shop will have one to sell to you. Your bigger problem is NOT having the torque wrench that also comes in the tool kit.
For removal, if I remember correctly, the drive is a 22mm allen and you can use a very long breaker bar. Torque spec is 627 ft/lbs (850 Nm).

Actually I don’t have any problem with torque wrench. The only issue is that the car came without tool kit.
As you said non is willing to sell the socket.

you could buy this toolkit, and get another 959 at the same time!

but in all seriousness isn’t there someone who could even lend you the tool you need?

Wayne R. Dempsey of Pelican Parts fame posted the 959 manual on the BaT auction, link here. The manual says you don't actually need the tool, as long as you can generate 850Nm of torque on the inner hexagonal socket (p.71). You will also need Castrol Molub-Alloy Paste TA (used to be called Optimoly TA) when re-fitting the wheel.
