Default Hub Nut Size

I'm going to replace shoes and drum for a 96 Neon SOHC. Does anybody have the size of the hub nut? I'm going to rent the socket from Auto Zone, and would like to get the right size socket.

Thanks for the help.

You don't need to remove the hub to change out the pads and drum.

But popping off the brake drum can be a real PITA. Make sure you don't have your parking brake on[:@]

Try taking anything off that hasn't been before and is put under alot of stress and heat. If may just fall off, who knows.
