Spindle Nut Size?

Good Day.
Can anyone give the size of the front spindle/wheel bearing nut size??
It's on my 07 E350.
I'm going to be doing the ball joints and want to try the torque wrench method of putting the correct preload and final torque on the bearings.
In the past I've always just did it by feel....but it's been many years back.

I believe if it is the same as a '98 the size is 1-1/16".

Thanks for the help folks.
This helps very much!
I may already have this size.
If not, I'll not get to them till next week and can order one.

Use a craftsman brand socket, that is what I use for the spindle nut. Works fine for me.
