Hey all, I need the sizes of two nuts on my 1997 Ram 2500. I don't have big enough sockets (impact set only goes up to 32MM) and im not sure of the sizes.

First one is the nut on the pitman arm shaft nut, second one is the axle nut.

Thanks errybody.

43mm or 1 & 11/16ths for the axle nut and I'll have to go see what size the pitman arm nut is in a bit and post it up for you.

Thanks a bunch! If you can't get it maybe ill grab a micrometer and see for myself. Mines a harbor freight one so its usually pretty inaccurate.

Orielys has a 33mm socket. Just bought one for the same thing. Oh, and the guys at the counter didnt know they had it. Said they never heard of a 33mm socket, lol.

Sure enough. Had to borrow one from a buddy, 3/4in drive and i adaptered it down to a 1/2 breaker bar, my electric craftsman impact, and a bigass pipe. PB blaster and it came loose no problem.
