The axle nuts on a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 usually need a 1-11/16 inch socket to remove them. If you can't find this size, you may be able to use a 43mm socket, but it's not recommended. Heavy duty 1-11/16 inch sockets can be found at most automotive or hardware stores for around $20 to $30, and they are good to have if you plan to keep driving the truck. It's crucial to torque the axle nut properly – initially to 132 lb-ft when replacing it, and later to 263 lb-ft after rotating the axle to seat the wheel bearing. Failing to meet these torque requirements can have serious consequences, especially for a heavy duty truck.
