What size socket for the front hub/bearing nut?
I searched and came up empty.It is for a 2001 Ram 1500 2WD.I did a quick measure and it appears to be 1 3/8".Just wanted to know before I start the job.Reason I am asking is I do not have anything that would fit it and would have to buy a socket for the job.Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks guys.The largest socket I have is a 1 1/8" so guess I'll measure the nut and go from there.Also I am having a tough time locating a new hub/bearing nut to replace the old one so it is done correctly.Anybody know of a good online parts store to get the nut.Maybe I'll try Napa or something local.Again thanks.

On the two wheel drives, the service manual specifically states not to reuse them. Not only that, I believe it is also stamped into the nut itself.
For the couple bucks they cost, it is a hell of a lot better to 'waste' that money, than to have one of your tires abandon you at freeway speeds.

I dont have an 01 but on my 96 1500 4x2 its 1 1/16", says nothing on the nut about not reusing. Just happened to remove one of the rotors couple hours ago so i can strip the Duplicolor off my spindles & pwdrct instead. Maybe Ill order a set myself, hate to have a wheel come off at 120

Manual, who reads that lmao? Guess I should look at my Haynes or the 01 I host on my site more often. Only tend to look if Im stumped on something or can't remember torque specs.
