I see on pavementsucks.com that the wheel bearing nut is a 1 11/16 for a 98 1500.

yall think it would be any bigger on a 2500? i rode all over town tryin to find a socket big enough to take it off with no luck.

anyone? we can talk about mindless stuff with neon for 20 pages but when im stuck and need help no one knows?

im startin to feel like i aint welcome here anymore.

 

I had to get my socket at sears... 20 bucks for one socket...that I will not need again..for a long time I hope.. 1 11/16 ..not sure if the nut on a 2500 is the same size...
And don't feel un-welcome. lol.. Think the board is slow today.. I asked a question earlier..and answered it my self.. [:-]

 

Pretty sure the dana 60 needs a 2 1/2 in nut not sure what axel you have. My freind jus yelled a 36mm better double check with the part store. they will know.

 

ah come on man, you think these parts guys know a damn thing? [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

its definatly not the 36 mm, tried that, wasnt anywhere near big enough. it is the dana 60 up front i believe, so 2 1/2. alright.

 

have you got an Advance Auto anywhere around ? The have loaner tools that includes a 4x4 Axle kit that has a boatload of big sockets. 01 service manual doesn't say the size, but i'll bet the dana 60 in the 2500 has a bigger nut than the 1500.

 

yeah vaughan, i do. they are the only store ill use cause i have a commercial account with them. the kit they had was too small for it. i went to sears today and got a 1 11/16 and it worked. got it off, got the back 4 bolts off, broke some extensions and adapters but got em off. now the bearing assembly wont come off. its so damn rusty it wont budge. so im lettin some pb blaster soak in there and im gonna take my crow bar to it a little later.

 

while its on the jack , sometimes if you go full lock to full lock with the steering wheel sometimes the hub will come loose . Put be careful that she does not fall off the jack..

 

Hey motor, man i feel ya about not gettin much quick help, but Neon gets 20 pages. Kinda aggravating, lol.

PB Blaster is great stuff, found that out first hand for the first time.

 

yeah dmac its really annoying. they are teachin the kid how to change his oil, but when im sittin here and need a answer before i can continue work, it pisses me off bad. talkin about window tints and stupid *** **** like that.

its been soakin in pb blaster all night, so well see if it will come out.

pa- appreciate the tip. im gonna give it a try. the truck is on jackstands so it aint goin anywhere.
