I don't recall the size, but the auto hub nuts have very little torque on them. Most of the time I can spin them off by hand. They are locked in place by a little key that slides into the groove on the spindle. I wouldn't get a socket. Worst case scenario, you may have to tap them loose with a chisel.

It's 2 3/8". Remember to remove the key in the slot before loosening the nut.
