If you are referring to the spindle nut with the locking tab, then I think it's 32mm.

i think its 22 or 23, i think the back ones are a different size... sorry i couldnt be more help, other than going outside taking the wheel off and putting a socket on. what i did was measure the nut, then went to the shop measured the sockets and bought the one that fit.

By the way, if I am remembering correctly, AutoZone or O'Reilly will lend you the 32mm socket.

The "tag" has to be punched out somehow in order for the nut to come out
