i have another nut and what size situation

sierra front uprights behind the dust cap is a big nut thats loose and needs to be tighter, what size is it, looks like a 41mm with my measure so i assume its not quite accurate

anyone know the size before i go out and buy 10 sockets untill i find one that fits

many thanks

I'm a bit concerned that it's came lose, I think I would replace the nut as there's no other locking device and you don't want the wheel coming off.

Are you sure the hub is on the correct side??

Same as the Sierra rear hub nut size.

Probably originally 1 5/8" nuts (0.27mm bigger across flats)

41mm sockets are easily had though.

41mm is the ISO standard across flat size for 27mm threaded nuts.

Make sure it's tight 3501bs/ft according to the Haynes manual, got the local garage to torque mine up; as Mr Whippy says, you don't want the wheel coming off.
