Smile Help with wheel center Hub nut size

I will be replacing my front wheel hub sometime next week or so, I've done it before and it's fairly simple, I just need to know if anyone knows what size the center hub nut is?
I lost the socket which I used before so now I don't know what size to get lol
If anyone knows I'd highly appreciate it

I know the first time I ever did a wheel hub (on a Grand Am), I did not plan ahead. Luckily, i did a free "loan a tool" from the parts store (loaned a BUNCH of large sockets). Now I have the Harbor Frieght Axel Nut Socket Set (VERY nice to have, includes a nice carry case, used it a few times, glad it's in my garage).

My Dad and I pooled together our tools in his garage, and we use our Service Manuals before every job to make sure we have most of the tools, if not we usually add it to our collection.

Just sucks to do work I have to drive to his house lol
