Upper ball joint castle nut size

Does anyone know the size of the upper ball joint castle nut? This is for a '94 4wd pickup. My sockets don't fit so I need to buy the correct wrench. Thanks a lot!

I'm 99% certain it will be a 17mm or 19mm

So in reality, you are merely 50% sure its a 17mm, and 50% sure its a 19mm

I am 100% sure its a 19mm.

PB blaster, vice grips.

If you're changing out the balljoint just grind the sucker off.
