PLEASE do not remove the center nut! what you have are called struts. The center nut is what holds the strut/spring together. removing the center nut will cause the strut to come apart with a force that could at worce kill you. Remove the 3 surrounding nuts then the two bolts at the bottom of the strut replace with new. You will have to have a front wheel allignment when done.

How to remove front shocks

Just the shock bolt is enough to get these out. One on top and one on the bottom. Take note of the rubber bushings positions for when you put the new ones back on.

Is there a recommended way to replace the drivers side front shock on a 1999 Dodge ram 4x4 diesel

For shock removal and replacement is fairly easy -- first remove the top shock nut and then the three nuts on the tower surronding the upper shock nut - then remove the bottom through bolt and pull shock up through the top -- install in reverse order - (don't worry about the shock expanding after you get the bottom bolt back in, you can push the top of the shock down with the tower and secure it). recommend you replace both front shocks
