Default front axle nut size?
Ok so I just got a digital copy of the service manual and maybe I'm an idiot but I can't find the front axle nut size listed. I plan to go to the store to buy the correct socket but I have no clue what size I need.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

My '95 was 3/4".
Might help to know what year/model you have...

When you go to the store, buy a set of sockets. They will likely come with ratchets too!

My '13 Wide Glide is 15/16"; if necessary you can fudge a 24mm socket since 15/16" = 23.81mm, but as NORTY FLATZ posted, knowing your model and year is a big help
