What size spindle nut socket?

[ajfetterman]

Trying to do my rear axle seals and the people at Advanced Auto cant tell me what size it is.

I bought the only one they had that said 4x4 but it is 2 5/8. Not sure if I need 2 9/16 or bigger and I dont want to tear it all apart to find out I dont have the right one.

I had them cross reference the numbers I had but it came up with nothing.

The one from the parts store didnt fit, it was close but no go. I used a flathead and a hammer.....
