Torque arm nut size?

Can anyone tell me what size the nut is for the torque arm? My 19mm is too small and I don't have metric sockets any bigger so I'll have to buy one. Obviously I need to know what size before I buy. thanks

Your talking about the 2 bolts that hold the arm to the AXLE?

I can't remember exactly, I thought it was a 9/16 socket head though.

I use 13/16 or 7/8 on bottom nuts, and 3/4 on top bolts.

so it isn't even metric? I tried my 19mm and the biggest eqivalent standard socket I had (3/4?) and they were too small...
