Spindle nut size
Greetings all,
Been a while since I've been here...mostly because it's been a while since I had a problem/question with my Ford, but now I do so 'm back.
I've got a 2005 F-150 Super Crew. I just started in on a front brake job to include changing the roters...what the heck size are the front spindle nuts??? I got them off (amazingly) with a 1 1/2 socket but it's a very sloppy fit. But, I can't get them torqued back on with the same socket. I just went through 4 friend's tool boxes and 2 local tool stores but nothing any of them had had fits right. Is it metric or standard? What the heck size is it? Appreciate the help.

Many thanks....so it is metric?!? I was thinking it should have been a standard size but that's what I get for thinking. 10-4 on the torque...that's what started the problem...I couldn't get it torqued with the 1 1/2 socket I had...only tried it once before it slipped, and I didn't want to screw up the nut further. I don't mind buying tools but may be a few moons before I ever need a 36mm again LOL. Many thanks.
