For modern Dodge Ram 2500 trucks, the size of the axle nut is 46mm. When working with lug nuts on a car, it's important to be careful not to cause any damage. Over-tightening them can lead to snapping or stripping, especially if they are old or rusted. If the lug nuts are stripped, they will just spin in the socket and become impossible to remove. In such a situation, a mechanical press may be required to push them out, but this runs the risk of damaging the wheel. If you snap the bolts, you will have to remove the rotor on the wheel and unthread them from the back. Both scenarios can be easily avoided with some caution.
