83 4x4 manual hub need help!

Ok I have an 1983 Toyota 4x4 and I replaced my wheel bearings in the front, but me and my dad need the size of the nut that is in the hub so we can correctly tighten it. I called and asked for the size at Napa and they nicely told me that I am an idiot and that not what that sockets for. Then I looked on the internet and found a post on here saying that it was 54mm or 2 1/8. I also called the local Toyota dealer and they went and measured the socket they use in the shop and said it was 56mm. so i don't know what one is right and figured that someone on here has used that socket and knows the size. Sorry for such a long message and thanks.

If it is the same nut as IFS a 2 3/32 socket will work (P/N KD 2430 at NAPA)

thanks guys bought one at sears for $27 craftsman will finish next weekend. i got another question that doesn't have to do with my hubs but when i drive down the road at about 2,000 rpms my truck makes a rattling key noise and before i could get it to do it when stopped. so we thought it might be my rear end so i replaced the third member but it still makes the noise so let me know if you have an idea. Thanks
