Seen many people struggle with this hub nut removal and withdrawal of the actual hub itself You have the perfect conditions here but learnt a lot about the socket and the thread saver and I would imagine a dedicated hub removal puller when things gets awkward. Its looks like you fitted the original nut dry but then another close up shot some grease or paste Very clever design with the hub nut having the 30 degrees marked within

Dear @rubenromulusmihoc9655, Thank you for your interest. You are right. For this type of axles, we use one-piece nuts with a right-hand thread in the right-hand direction of travel and a left-hand thread in the left-hand direction of travel. The nuts do not loosen due to the tightening torque of 150Nm + 30° or 900Nm. Does that answer your question? Best Regards Your SAF-HOLLAND Team
As others have implied, you have not really known suffering until you've tried to dismantle a SAF hub and disc assembly that has *actually been in use.* The bearing races need to be heated and annihilated with an air hammer and chisel before they budge. I would bet your engineering department a million dollars that no-one working in the field has ever managed to remove the bearings and races without a torch and a cutoff wheel.
I agree what a load of shite, not a hint of oil used on thread or on axle beam and the whole axle moved off the stand when they tightened the hub nut, very safe. Now come to where I work and strip one on a 10 year old bus and rebuild it,😂

I noticed that there is no lock for the bearing lock nut, do you use any lock paste?

Do you currently have problems? Please contact our service team (customerservices.uk@safholland.com). We are sure that we will find a solution.
the bearing can snag on the axle, when refitting,,be careful..... need to keep that retain clip for the 2 bearings intact..
