The thread size of the bolts in the Ford Ranger bed is 8mm x 1.25. When working with lug nuts on a car, it's important to be cautious to avoid damaging them. Over-tightening can lead to bolt snapping or stripping, particularly with older or rusted bolts. If the lug nuts strip, they will just spin in the socket, making it hard to remove them. In such a case, a mechanical press may be necessary to push them out, but this could harm the vehicle. If a bolt snaps, you will need to access it from behind and unscrew it in reverse, possibly requiring you to lift the car with a jack.
