Not so, grasshopper.
Both front and rear take a 15mm wrench; Campy preferred, understated elegance. Both nuts look the same because the floating captive washers are also different sizes.
Front:
8mm hole, 10mm across the flats of the nut, 10mm washer.
Rear:
9mm hole, 10mm across the flats of the nut, 12mm washer.
Washers are the same thickness.
Now whose got a rear???
