Need help replacing Hub assembly just need socket sizes.

I am replacing the wheel hub assembly and was wondering if anyonwe knew the center Nut size on the half-axle is that holds the half-axle in the hub assembly. Also I was wondering what torx size it is to take the hub out is it a T-55 or T-50? Would they sell these tools at auto-zone? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Its a 1994 Bonneville SSE.

i want to say it'* a 3/8 hex to remove the caliper, then i used a 36 (IIRC) impact to remove the axel nut and finnally a T55 to remove the hub itself.

good luck with that.
