They're always one size, but I can't remember what.

Dont buy a socket, buy a box spanner for less than a fiver from paddocks, mm4x4 etc. I wish someone had told me that 2 years ago when I spent £47 on a 3/4 drive 52mm impact socket.....grr.....

I dont have a hub nut spanner and use an old screw driver and a hammer. I am sure a hub nut would be easier!

I've seen enough hub nuts chiseled and ruined to never do that again.
