92 D250 4x4 brakes

[CTLindsey]

What size socket is needed to remove the lock nut for replacing the rear shoes. Is it 2 9/16 ?

 

[glhs]

Mine needed a 2 1/2".

A D250 is a 4x2.

A W250 is a 4x4.

 

[CTLindsey]

on the fender it has a D250 emblem

Mine have alwyas been the 2-9/16 rounded corner $25 specials from NAPA, SnapOn, et al.



I'll second the notion that the Ws are 4x4; Ds are 4x2. Not to say your truck doesnt say "D250" but most of them said either Ram250 or PowerRam250.

i just did the front pads a rotors on my W250. man what a haus. disasebling it was more detailed than i expected, then pounding the 14 year old rusted lugs out of the rotor/hub was and experience. they were so badly warped by the previous owner, that when you applied the brakes the truck would buck like a bull... it was violent. now they are smooth as silk.

I read JGrefenstette reply about the front brake job on the 93 4x4. I have a similar problem,my front end pulls to the right when brakes are applied. I changed both L and R soft hoses but it still pulls but not as much. Both L and R pads have the same amount of wear. Any ideas, lazy caliper? Thanks Dan H

If it still pulls with new hoses, then calipers are all that is left. Be sure to lube up the slides real well.
