Quick help needed!! Please!

Anyone know the size of the rear wheel bearing nut that holds the rear rotors on?? I'm "guessing" I'll need a 1 1/4" Deep well socket, but being New Years day, I don't want to get all then way to Sears and find out it's Metric! Need a quick reasponse or it goes back together sans caliper paint. Thanks in advance and Happy New year forum members.

Not sure what you're doing but you don't need to remove bearing nut to remove rotor. Two 21mm bolts on caliper and rotor comes right off, on rear release emer. brake cable on inboard bottom.

Gheez, I feel stupid! Looked at center hub nut/bearing and *assumed* it was like my older cars......Thanks for saving me $$$, A wastred trip, and a can of caliper paint that would have set up and been spoiled!

Just a warning, those bolts are in there pretty damn tight! When reassembling, the 21mm bolts get 125 ft lbs torque and the 15 mm get 23 ft lbs. I used blue loctite on all of them.
