Axle Nut Socket 83mm 1in Drive for Scania Front Axle

An 83mm axle nut socket made for Scania front axle work, with a 1in drive for use on heavy vehicle axle nuts. It is used for removal and fitting of the front axle nut positioned in front of the brake disc, where a secure fit on the nut is important.

Used in truck workshops, fleet maintenance and heavy vehicle servicing, this socket suits jobs on Scania 124L, 144L and Series 4 front axles. It is particularly useful when carrying out hub work, brake-related maintenance or front axle repairs where the nut may be tight, awkward to access or needs removing cleanly without damaging the nut profile. For mechanics working on vehicles over 16 tons, having the correct Scania hub nut socket helps make the job more straightforward and avoids wasting time with poor-fitting alternatives.

The socket has an 83mm inner size, 103mm outer diameter and a height of 74mm, giving it the proportions needed for this specific application. A milled-out profile helps it seat properly on the axle nut for a more positive drive, which is especially useful when dealing with stubborn fasteners. It can be used with an impact wrench for removal or with a torque wrench during refitting, depending on the stage of the job. That makes it a practical option for regular workshop use where the right fit matters and helps avoid slipping during heavy-duty axle work.
