Default Rear axle bearings?

Does anyone know what size the rear wheel bearing retainer nut is on a 3500 dually hub?
I am doing the brakes and was also wondering if I could get non dually bearing hubs to fit back on so I wouldn't have to pull my bearings the next time I need new rotors. I appreciate any help here.

The rotors should be sepperate from the hub. Just need a little or a lot of heat depending, and a dead blow hammer.

no, the rotors bolt to the hub from the inside of the rotor. remember, we are talking rear brakes here

also remember, this was a stupid dually when I bought it, before I put rims and tires on it

Dana 80, should all be the same. Plus my boss just did his axle seals so the size is fresh in my mind. Enjoy the repair!
