FAQs
What type of vehicles is this socket designed for?
This 80mm impact hub nut socket is specifically designed for front hub axle nuts on Scania commercial vehicles.
What is the drive size of this socket?
The socket features a 1-inch drive, compatible with heavy-duty impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars.
Why does it have an 8-point design?
The 8-point design provides more contact points compared to a 6-point socket, offering a more secure grip and reducing the risk of cam-out or rounding the nut, especially under high torque.
What material is the socket made from?
It is constructed from Chrome Molybdenum steel for enhanced strength, durability, and resistance to impact.
How hard is the socket tempered?
The socket is hardened to HRC 43-45, ensuring it can withstand demanding, heavy-duty use.
Can I use this socket with a standard ratchet?
Yes, you can use it with a 1-inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. However, it is optimized for use with a 1-inch drive impact wrench for maximum efficiency on tough nuts.
What is the overall length of the socket?
The socket has a length of 100mm, which helps in reaching recessed axle nuts.
Troubleshooting
Socket not fitting the nut.
Confirm the nut size is exactly 80mm and that you are using the correct 8-point socket. Ensure no debris is obstructing the nut or socket.
Socket slipping on the nut.
Ensure the 8-point design is fully engaged with all corners of the nut. Check for wear on both the socket and the nut. Use a higher torque impact tool if necessary and safe.
Socket not engaging with the drive tool.
Verify that you are using a 1-inch drive tool and that the drive square on the socket is clear of obstructions and undamaged.
Socket showing signs of premature wear.
Ensure the socket is being used with appropriate torque settings for the application and that it is properly lubricated if used with an impact wrench. Avoid excessive force or improper angles.
