Default Nut Size?
Can anyone tell me what the rear wheel nut size is. I need to buy a socket for it. The nut holds the hub in place. I broke two wheel studs and need to replace them.

33 mm.

Got mine at O'Reilly Auto Parts. They had a whole display of different sized axle nut sockets.

The 1-5/16ths might work as well. If you work the math out, that one comes out to 33.3375 mm. Looks like either would probably do the trick.
