Question Rear Wheel Hub locknut size?

Does anyone know the size of the locknut used on the rear wheel hub?
To clarify, I'm replacing my lug studs and after removing the brake rotor off. I find out that i'll need to remove the hub in order to gain enough room to knock out the old studs. Largest socket I have is a 30mm and this is even larger. ANYONE?

Are you sure??

There is usually a gap in the back plate that lets you knock the studs back out, one at a time......

The fronts are clear, but the rears have very little room behind them. Seems like this would be my only option. I searched some threads about it and it seems like everyone stated that it has to be removed. Just not sure what size the nut is.
