Default 96 scrambler swingarm bolt and nut sizes

i am trying to remove my swingarm and have ordered my bushing kit.
however i have a simple question that i cant find out anywhere. what is the size of the inner nut that holds the swingarm (pivot) bolts in place.
the nut has a rounded off outer edge and its really hard to get to and none of my wrenches fit.

Think it was 3/4" (19mm equivalent) If you can't get a wrench on it try a long nosed pair of vice grips and see if you can lock it down to remove. Polaris ATV Swing Arm Shock Nut Lock X2 95 99 7542602 | eBay

inner nut is 7/8"
outer hex 3/4"
either replace the nylok nut or thin down a castle nut and a drill hole in the bolt for a cotter key to hold the nut.

Whatever works as they say.. Sounds just like my son. He'll grab a handful of wrenches and which ever one fits,he'll make it work.. P.S. mrtwosroke was right on the sizes,7/8 on the nut,3/4 on the outside bolt head.Hard to remember ever size Polaris bolt especially since the engines are metric and the frames and everything else are SAE..

13/16" sounds familiar on that. just changed a sprocket last week used 3/4".
I wonder if they changed it sometime.
How was the hole in the frame? They can wear when the bolts have come loose.
drive side worse. I machined a sleeve to fit in one of mine.
The other I oversize sized the holes and built new bolts.

yes the frame hole on the drive side is worn pretty bad. my plan was to use a thick washer and weld it onto the frame.
