Axle Nut Sockets

Axle Nut Sockets

Axle nut sockets are a type of socket wrench that is specifically designed for loosening and tightening axle nuts. Axle nuts are typically very large and require a lot of torque to remove, so axle nut sockets are made from heavy-duty materials and have a long reach to get around the axle nut.

Axle nut sockets are available in a variety of sizes to fit different axle nuts. They are also available with different drive sizes, so you can use them with a variety of ratchets and wrenches.

Types of Axle Nut Sockets

There are two main types of axle nut sockets:

  • Six-point sockets: These are the most common type of axle nut sockets. They have six points that fit into the six flats on the axle nut.
  • 12-point sockets: These sockets have twelve points that fit into the twelve flats on the axle nut. They are less common than six-point sockets, but they can be easier to use in tight spaces.

In addition to the two main types of axle nut sockets, there are also a variety of other types of sockets that can be used for axle nuts. These include:

  • Impact sockets: These sockets are made from hardened steel and are designed to withstand the high impact forces that are generated when using an impact wrench.
  • Deep sockets: These sockets have a longer reach than standard sockets, which allows you to get around the axle nut without having to remove other components.
  • Universal sockets: These sockets can be adjusted to fit different sizes of axle nuts.

Axle nut sockets are an essential tool for any automotive mechanic. They are available in a variety of sizes and styles to fit your needs.
