Been there; done that.. Id' recommend a bigger drive that just 1/2 inch.. I
thought we'd used 3/4inch drive, and roughly 6-7 feet of breaker bar.. but
with around 3-400# that far out.. we managed to get it loose.. and it was
still not easy. Not sure of the torque specs.. must be close to the same
thing they set the spark plugs at from the factory.

Subject: DML: DML OT. Center Hub Nut on Ram

> There is a guy here at work that is having a hard time removing the center
nut on the front drive hub of a '98 Ram 1500 4x4. He has already sheared
the square drive on two 1/2 drive ratchets trying to get this nut off.

threads left handed? Thanks in advance.
