Are you referring to the axle nut? I can't think of anything that is 39 mm on the bearing assembly. It is probably the outside diameter of the bearing.

there are 2 different size bearings dealership parts department would know which one you needed from your vin number ran into this problem a few times because there are two different bearing due to two different rim sizes.

Drive Train Axles Bearings problem

As you can see, I have a 2004 PT Cruiser, I need to know if the left side hub bearing is a job I can handle or not. I've pulled and installed engines, trans, rears, done clutches, etc. The mechanic wants close to 300 for the job,money being tight like it is I'll do it myself if not too difficult.

If you have a good repair manual, and you have done all the other things you mentioned, you will be fine.
