Default Front rotor nut?

Anybody know what size socket is required to remove the but that holds the front rotor on? 92 f-150 4.9 2wd.

You don't need a socket. Just pull the dust cap, remover the cotter pin, remover the castle washer, and unscrew the nut. Chances are you'll be able to unscrew it with your fingers. Then when putting it back on you have to adjust how tight the nut is, a pair of channel locks works great for that. Then put the castle washe back on, put the cotter pin back in, put the dust cap back on. DONE.

Check out this video on youtube.

Torque spec is about 14 ft lbs technically. Don't over tighten it or you will kill the bearing.
