what size socket fits hub retaining nut (in middle of repair)

I am in the middle of a wheel bearing replace and I don't have a socket big enough to fit the hub retaining nut. Off to the parts store, anyone know what size adjusting nut this is?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response Andres2882. My largest socket is a 15/16 and it is to small

I feel like a complete hick saying this, but I have always just used Channel Locks.

I am kind of a newbie at car repair, so I didn't want to strip out the nut. This was my first wheel bearing replacement, went smooth.

Eastern Arkansas must be a lot like Central Florida.
We use the same tools on our cars.

Can do that since it gets torqued to like 15 inch pounds. Can really just take it about 1/2 turn past hand tight. I always use a torque wrench to be safe though.
