could anybody tell me what size socket fits the big nut on the front hub
drivers side on my 1999 dodge ram 4x4? i tried every large socket i have
but it must be metric cause every large regular socket is either to sloppy
or just to small. i need to get it off to get to the u-joint. thank you.

My 99 2500 takes a 1 11/16. You can do it with a 1 3/4 in a pich.I have done
it this way twice now, because I don't own a 1 11/16 socket.

Go to your local auto parts place and there is a 6 point socket that is
especially made for 4x4 front hub nuts. The right tool for the right
purpose keeps you out of trouble and saves you head aches down the road,
especially when things go south.
