05 C6 spindle nut size needed
I have to replace a hub and maybe axle on an 05 C6. The spindle nut is larger than any of the sockets I have and that is the 24mm or 1 1/16. It looks like it is 1 3/8 and I would like to know the metric size I need and the exact size of the socket I need. If you know the size or can offer me an idea where to get that size once I know exactly what it is. I did some further measuring and it looks like it is 32mm. I would really like some confirmation so I can go out and but the correct size socket.

I very recently put new axle nuts on my car. The original nuts came off with a 33mm socket but I had to get a 34mm for the new ones. The new axle nuts were also a different part number.
EDIT: I believe I got both sockets at Auto Zone.

According to talon90, the new nets had a change in thread design because of the tendency to back off.
