I used 1 3/8, but 35mm is often quoted.

I bought a 36 mm socket at a local auto parts store for about $10. They are also available on line at Amazon, Jegs, etc. for about the same price. Keith HR #894
Thanks RoadRacer & progmgr1
1-3/8" did fit my hub nut so I order a 35 & 36mm socket from amazon
using a vernier, measure the width between opposing flats of the hexagonal nut, if it measures as 36mm, then you need a 36mm socket.

The hub nut is from the 89-97 Mustang, a search for that nut size showed up as 36mm

Thank you RJ...
I have a 35 & 36mm coming (should be here tomorrow) which the 35mm will not be wasted since the hub nut on my 55 F100 using a coil over IFS suspension kit from TCI are 35mm.
Just received the 35 & 36mm sockets....my hub nuts are definitely 36mm.
