    13mm although a 1/2" fits much better.

    its a 34 mm and 36 mm iirc, i took my car to the parts store and asked to try the sockets out first before i bought it. they have 2 sizes, one is stock and the other is the if the axle has been replaced, so you may need both size sockets if one had been changed before.

    Stock W body axle nut is actually 35mm, replacement axles usually come with a 34mm nut. You can use the larger socket as the size is so large that it won't hurt the nut.

    not 100% thats why i said take the car to the store, because it could be one or the other. not so sure about GP's but the stock regal center cap comes off and the nuts right there, so it was easy for me to test fit what socket i needed.

    i lucked out when i did my axle, my bro ad one size and i had to buy the other, one size to get off, another size to get the new on.

    You could use just a 36mm for either nut. It's so large...no matter
