    Just take the other nut off if you have another vehicle available and take it to the parts store to match it up. I don't see why you couldn't find one. If you need help tomorrow, let me know.

    Yes, those stores are always better IMO. I save autozone for last resort. I'd help you out tonight if I didn't already have plans, but I'm about to head out to a concert.

    5/8 wrench may have taken it off, but it's most likely not a 5/8 thread, which is what racer99 was referring to. I coulda given you a ride to the parts store or wherever if it's undriveable man...

    Yea, take the same nut off of the other side and match it up... Most everything on your car will be metric, however a lot of exhaust thread is still standard...

    LMAO... that made me laugh. I didn't say you were slacking on your work! I just know when you said valentines day it made me laugh based on what you told me the other day... so you're slacking in that department.. haha. And of course, you need to play with your nuts if you want your ride to work right to get you to your 2 jobs!!!

    Its a metric nut; yes, a 5/8 will get it loose, but the threads on stock parts are metric. Normally a 15mm wrench is used on it.
    Advance Auto usually has a nice assortment of metric hardware.
