Anyone know off hand what size the nut is on the front wheel hub? I need
to tighten the bearings and need to make sure I have the right size before
I pull everything off.

Thanks in advance.

Gordon,
The new cars must be different than the old ones,
as you would never use a socket/wrench on the nut,
as its not supposed to be tight, only snug.

I use a pair of pliers to tighten mine…

It comes off by hand…
What sort of setup did they go to, one like the rear
wheels with a shim and spacer?

Actually there is a cover that goes over the nut to install the cotter
pin in for fine adjustment
