what size is the nut for the rotor assy on 2wd truck

I just bought a 1996 2wd with 282K miles. ONe of the things I want to get done is to repack the wheel bearings. What size of socket will I need to remove and install the nut that holds the rotor/bearings onto the spindle?

If it is like an '01 it is a sealed hub assembly and can't be repacked. Sorry I'm not much more help.

To remove it should only take your finger tips. I use a big crescent on reinstall. Good-n-tite, spin the rotor to seat the bearings then back it off. Finger tight and install the cotter pin.
