1995 Jeep Cherokee… Front axle nut… What is the size of this nut? And also, do they use metric or standard socket sizes? I have to replace the wifes Jeeps hub assembly tomorrow, and am not familiar with the auto at all. ---

Yes they do I had to rent a 36mm socket from auto zone to pull my drive shaft out to do my ball joints on my S10. Its about $10 which you get back (excluding tax) when you return it. ---

if you are taking the brake calipers off, you are also probably going to need an 18mm socket, which is not in most socket sets. (at least they are on a 2000 jeep grand cherokee)
