Does anyone know the size of the acorn nut for the small arm of the windshield wipers?

Thanks stump, I may have to take the other one off to figure the size.

I did about 300 miles in rain yesterday and dont know when it came off.

Thanks.  I had bought new dyna wiper arms but wanted to replace the rest of the faded parts. 

Ordered all of the parts. 

Thanks bob

I had this problem when I mistakenly installed 28" blades.  It ended up breaking the wiper arm.  I replaced both arms with 26" blades.
