Hmmm...I think I came to that conclusion on my own. Thanks for narrowing it down for me!

It is 27mm.

who ever NEEDS anything bigger than 7/8inch anyway....i've never touched the bolt before, never needed to.

Sounds about right. I have a 30mm that was fairly close but obviously too big. Well, off I go for trip number one to the store. I'll take my chances with the 27mm.

that has to be the stupidest thing you've ever said here, apperantly, there is a need for socket larger than 7/8"....wait till you need to remove your rear hubs, that nut is even bigger.....

For the steering wheel, I have a 1 and 1/16 that works well. For the rear hbs you need a 30 mm, and a strong one.

27mm?....that would be 1 1/16". Ought to be able to find a cheapie one if it's for a one-time use type of deal.

Yeah, It's a big mo-fo! I used an English unit socket, no problem. Torque is low. The steering wheel hasn't fallen off. Must be okay!

If you buy a whole set....they are cheaper than buying individually.....

Off to Sears myself for a travel tool kit....

didn't we just have that question in another thread ???

27mm it is!
Andy

Well, I got a 27mm and it fits. Thanks for the help.
