Question Automatic Hub Spindle Nut

Can anyone tell me what size the spindle nut is for the auto hubs used on a 1996 Ranger?

It's time for rotors and u-joints in the front end, and since I haven't had any problems with the auto hubs I'm not changing them to manuals.

I found a spindle nut socket at the local AutoZone that listed the Ford F-series half tons, but not for the Ranger. It measured 2 1/2 inches across. I just want to be sure it is the correct size before buying it.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Ranger_X.

I also have the Haynes manual, but it does not tell me the size. I might have a different issue of the manual.
