I think it's an inch and a quarter... lemme check
yup, that's what my tape measure tells me =) well, really Jon's tape.
I don't remember where I put mine down. I'm always loosing tape
measures.....
I'd also recommend spraying it well with penetrating lube for a few
days before, and using 3/4" drive tools if you have or can afford them.
I've broken a 1/2" SK breaker bar on mine before.

I know mine was $155 from Advance. it looks like a quality unit. I
also know my other hub was bad (very stiff - I'm sure the bearings are
toast), and that's why I started comparing prices of two hubs, two ball
joints, a knuckle, etc etc to a SAS.
PS - Napa thought they could have my brake parts, but they can't - none
available in the system. Calling boneyards.....
