Default Taylor nut size question

I'm replacing a factory tuner on my Taylor, does anyone know the size for the nut on the headstock? thanks

Most of them are 10mm.

Just mentioning, they are a collared nut, not a normal nut

Default Tuners

tuners come with nuts and washers as a matter of course, a complete assembly. Why the question? And the comment above, that part with the hex on it is not any kind of hardware available in hardware stores, it's part of the tuner.

Maybe the OP wants to use a proper size wrench to remove/replace the tuner. The fact that it is a collar type nut is immaterial. You still loosen it by turning counterclockwise.
I like to use a 6-point socket.
