axle nut size? (Cavalier)

'99 Cavalier. The only axle/spindle nut sockets I can find around here are 30mm and up. 30mm feels too big. With my not-too-precise calipers, I measure 1.15". Is this maybe a 28mm? 1 3/16? Clues?

Thanks, George

28mm = 1.102", or about 1 7/64"

1.15" = 29.21mm

1 3/16" = 30.1625mm

Try to get a 6-sided 30mm or 1 3/16" socket. Any impact wrench socket should be 6-sided.

28MM I believe.

1 1/8" maybe? 1.15 is 29 mm. 1 3/16" is a legit size, but I'd be surprised if that was the correct one, and it is over 30 mm. So if the 30mm socket was loose, the 1 3/16" socket would be worse.

Apparently, it's a 30mm - at least, that worked. I still think it felt loose, but who can argue with success?
