Front axle nut socket size

[Devo55]

I have a 1993 Explorer Sport and I'm going to change the ball joints soon. Need to know what size socket for the front axle nut. Thanks.

spindle retainer nut is 27mm (94 xlt)
edit:2wd

is this a 2wd or 4wd?
do you have auto or manual hubs?

usually with a 4WD and manual hubs it is this
Amazon product ASIN B0015UV6LQ
the spindle nuts are not a 6 sided nut like the 95+ trucks, they are a 4 prong spindle socket to get at the wheel bearings

It's a 2WD

Looks like it is 27mm as @ChildIdenticant pointed out!
I have 27, 28, 32, 34, and 36mm sockets that covers just about every spindle nut on all Fords and Chevy suv and trucks 2wd and 4wd

Good luck!
