Rear Axle Groove Nut Socket 35mm for Mercedes-Benz Citaro

A rear axle groove nut socket made for 6-tooth groove nuts fitted to SF portal axle AV132 applications. Used on Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses and similar vehicles, it has a 35mm drive tube and is built for the high tightening and release torque involved in axle work.

Used for rear axle servicing, maintenance and repair work where groove nuts need to be removed or tightened correctly on low-floor buses. It suits workshop and fleet maintenance environments working on Mercedes-Benz Citaro, and is also relevant for MAN City-Line, Neoplan, Kassbohrer and other vehicles using the same axle arrangement.

For heavier-duty fastening work, this Mercedes axle nut socket is intended for use either by hand or with an impact wrench, which gives flexibility depending on the job and available equipment. The 6-tooth form is made specifically for the matching groove nut pattern, while the 35mm drive tube size should be checked against the required setup before use. Where the correct axle application is being serviced, it is a practical option for repeated maintenance work and helps avoid using unsuitable general-purpose tools on specialist axle nuts.
