Socket size for front wheel axle bolt

Going to remove my front wheel. The shop manual gives me the instructions, so that's fine, but my largest socket is 19mm and it doesn't fit the axle bolt. What size do I need?
While we're on the topic, what about the rear wheel as well? Might as well get them both at once.
I've searched on here but can't seem to find the size.

You should have the correct wrenches in the set, match them up and head to your tool box or store.

Harbor freight has a nice set of half inch drive impact sockets at a reasonable price. BUT-that word again-I have NO idea if H/F is in Canada. AND on the reinstall of front and rear wheels pay particular attention to the SEQUENCE of the reinstall. RIDE SAFE,
