Socket size for harmonic balancer

I'm planning on replacing my timing set starting tonight and think between here, Haynes and AZ help pages I am ready. Only one question. What is the socket size for harmonic balancer to crank bolt? I have heard 1 5/16 and 1 3/16 so which is correct? The one I used to check the slack with is loose but the size is unreadable so I need to make a purchase. Not going to try it with a loose fit.

Thanks. My new socket fits perfectly. Got the air intakes, hoses, radiator and fan out tonight. Will persue the water pump, timing chain and thermostat tomorrow.
