Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit the differential nut securely.
Verify that you are working on the correct Mercedes-Benz Citaro or Evo Bus model, as this socket is application-specific. Ensure the nut itself is not damaged or deformed.
Socket slips during high-torque application.
Confirm the socket is fully seated on the nut. Check for any debris in the socket teeth or on the nut. Ensure the drive tool (ratchet/breaker bar) is securely engaged with the socket's hex drive.
Difficulty engaging the socket with the castellated nut.
Clean both the socket's teeth and the differential nut's castellated slots. Minor burrs on the nut might require careful filing, but avoid excessive modification. Ensure the socket is correctly oriented.
