Differential Nut Socket 72mm 6 Tooth Mercedes Citaro Evo

A specialist differential nut socket made for loosening and tightening the castellated differential nut fitted to Mercedes Citaro and Evo buses. The 72mm differential nut socket uses a 6 tooth pattern and a 32mm hex drive, giving the correct fit for this specific axle service job.

Used for differential and axle maintenance, this socket suits bus workshop servicing, fleet repairs and heavier vehicle maintenance where the correct tooth profile is needed to engage the nut properly. It is a practical choice for technicians carrying out strip-down, reassembly or routine service work on Mercedes bus driveline components, especially when general sockets are not suitable for castellated fittings.

The socket has an inside diameter of 72mm and an outside diameter of 84mm, with a 60mm depth for access over the nut. Its castellated 6 tooth design uses teeth sized at 11 x 6 x 12mm deep, matching the form needed for this application. The 32mm hex drive gives a straightforward connection for workshop tools during removal and refitting. For regular commercial vehicle maintenance, using the correct dedicated socket helps avoid poor fit on specialist differential nuts and keeps the job more controlled.
