I got an 92 hatch and i don't have a socket big enough to remove the rear main spindle nut. I was wondering if anyone knew what size it is so i don't have to go back and forth to Sears to get the right size socket. Thanks.

however, for the rear, I think that your going to have to pull off the cover, then put the wheel back on, and lower the car then put the socket through the center cap, unless you have an impact.

That's what I do for the front too- my impact can't even get it off.

on the second swap that I did, the person's nuts were so rusted on, we bent the the craftsman 1/2 drive square part. We had 3 average size guys using the removeable part of the engine crane as our cheater bar, and we still had a bitch of a time doing that. I found a great way to do it though. Put the bar at just past 3 oclock. With a floor jack, jack up the bar. that way you use 500lbs or so of normallcy force to brake it loose.
