Wheel Capsule and Axle Nut Socket, octagon, 115mm (waf) - Gedore

The Gedore KL-1023-115 Wheel Capsule and Axle Nut Socket is an indispensable tool for professional technicians servicing heavy commercial vehicles, buses, and industrial equipment. This specialized 115mm octagon (across flats) socket is precisely engineered to provide a secure, non-slip fit on large wheel capsules and axle nuts. Its design ensures reliable engagement, preventing damage to high-value components during demanding service operations, thereby enhancing efficiency and reliability in professional workshops.

Key Features

• 115mm Octagon Profile: An 8-point design ensures secure, positive engagement on wheel capsules and large axle nuts with a 115mm across-flats (AF) measurement, preventing slippage, especially on components where standard hex sockets may not seat correctly.
• Precision-Machined Fit: Manufactured to tight tolerances, this socket minimizes play, significantly reducing the risk of rounding fasteners under high torque applications.
• Professional-Grade Construction: Built to Gedore's rigorous quality standards, it ensures consistent durability and reliability for daily use in commercial shops, fleet maintenance, and industrial environments.
• High-Torque Capability: Designed to reliably withstand heavy-duty impact wrench or breaker bar setups, it is essential for controlled, high-torque applications during wheel-end maintenance.
• Optimized Geometry: Specifically engineered for applications where standard hex sockets may not provide adequate grip, ensuring reliable engagement on octagon-profile fasteners.

Applications

The KL-1023-115 is primarily utilized for the removal and installation of large wheel capsules and axle nuts on heavy commercial vehicles, such as Scania truck series 4 (from 16 t, rear axle AD/ADA), Volvo FH 12 / FH 16 (from 16 t), and Renault Premium DXI on the front axle. It is well-suited for axle repair, hub and bearing service, and wheel-end maintenance in fleet garages, truck and bus workshops, and industrial maintenance departments. This socket is a reliable choice for technicians who routinely work on large-diameter wheel-end fasteners and require consistent, repeatable engagement without compromising the nut or capsule.
