What size socket required to remove the front wheel nut holding the wheel hub in place

The one that fits!

That's not the way it works. you buy a socket set. It has one set of AF Sockets and one set of Metric sockets. The one you use is the one that fits.

-Jack up the car
-remove the tire, 19mm socket
-remove the brake caliper, its either an 18mm or 15mm socket that will remove the bracket bolts.
-remove the rotor
-remove the axle nut, its either a 34 or 36 mm
-unplug ABS sensor connector if equipped
-remove the three bolts that hold the bearing/hub assembly to the knuckle, a 13mm socket will work
Remove the wheel bearing.

It is important to tighten the axle nut to the proper spec. Failure to do so will cause the new bearing to fail. you will need a 1/2" torque wrench for this.

To make removing and installing the axle nut easier place a punch in the fins of the rotor and rotate the rotor until the punch rests on the caliper (it doesn't hurt to put a couple lug nuts on to hold the caliper tight to the hub). This will hold the hub in place while you looses and tighten the axle nut.

you will need a big socket to remove the axle nut--about 20 mm or so. Other than that, I don't think so. Procedures from autozone.com below. it doesn't mention having to press bearing into hub.

common hand tools and a torque wrench

Hello. The spindle lock nut requires a socket, size 2 1/4 inches.

you first need to remove the big nut that is holding the wheel on the side that you are trying to replace first you must buy the right sized socket thet will fit the nut the while the vehicle is still on the ground take the hub cap off and the cater pin out and then put the socket on the nut using a halt inch tourge ratchet loosen and remove the nut then jack your vehicle up and remove the wheel and the bolts that are holdung the hub and then with a pickle fork that is the tool used for removing tie rod ends that is connected to your stirring and then after that remove your axle and then reverse the procces to put ti back together.

the front wheel bearings on your car are not sold except as a front wheel hub assembly with the bearing pre-installed, they run about $100.00 each, to replace them requires no special tools, all u do is remove the wheel, the brake caliper and the brake rotor and the hub nut, then the hub just slides off, u will most likely need a very large socket for the hub retaining nut.
