paseo strut bolt size

[wvuguy]

Hello every one,

I just bought a 92 paseo last week with 128k miles on it. The coil spring on the front passenger side is shot so I am replacing the whole strut since I found one from the junk yard with spring on it. I have unbolted the strut from under the hood but I don't have the socket for where it connects to the hub. Can some one give me the size so I can get the socket?

Thanks

If memory serves correctly its a 17mm...or 18/19 been too long since I messed with my susp.
Also you're gonna need a wrench or another ratchet/socket to hold the other side still.

I found out that they are 19mm but what a pain to loosen. I broke a rachet trying to unbolt them. I think I am gonna get a breaker bar or impact wrench.
