Thanks @Soujyu, no need. I just ended up saying "screw it" and bought the Triple-T adapter from T-Rex for my front stand. The bracket on my T-Rex stand that actually touches the forks is a bit fatter than your Pitbull stand I guess b/c it completely covers the axle nut and bolt head, I wouldn't even be able to get a socket wrench in there. A box wrench would be fine but I don't know if there's enough room to actually remove the nut and even if I'd get the nut off I would have no way of removing the axle bolt w/o tipping the bike off the stand.

Oh well.. now I'll have the Triple-T stand I should've gotten in the first place.
