Default NEED QUICK REPLY - LCA Castle Nut size/pitch

hey guys, im trying to get my car back on the road.. like righhht now, turns out my front passanger LCA castle nut, is cross threaded!! does anyone know the metric size and pitch so i can get a tap and rethread the nut?!

the nut im talking about is the biggest nut, and it holds the bottom of the wheel hub on, and is on the ball joint for the lower front control arm.

thanks!!

If I'm not mistaken, it will work with a 19mm socket (not sure about the real size), but the pitch should be 1.25. I haven't seen any 1.5 or 1 pitch on the SC bolt and nut.
