Looking for a tool to loosen or tighten your bearings without damaging them? Use this axial lock nut socket from SKF. It fits over your lock nut so you can turn it precisely in a set direction. For greater control, you can insert a power tool or torque wrench through the 1/2-inch connection hole. This versatile device is suitable for use with bearings mounted on an adapter or withdrawal sleeve, as well as on a tapered journal.

• Compatible with the KM, KMK and KMFE series of lock nuts for versatility
• Compact dimensions of 52 (diameter) x 58mm (length) require less space around the bearing than a hook spanner

• Manufacturing assembly lines
• Mining and quarrying
• Hydraulic pumps
• Wind turbines

You can use a vernier caliper to measure the internal and external diameter of the nut or use a tape measure to measure its bore size. Measuring your lock nut ensures you're using the correct socket and tools, making mounting and dismounting hassle-free.
