If you need to carry out maintenance on the front halfshafts or the front suspension, you must remove the fixing nut of the halfshaft located at the centre of the hub to free the halfshaft itself and gain more working space. This nut is tightened to a high torque for obvious reasons and features a thread deformation to prevent accidental loosening.

It can be unscrewed using either a pneumatic wrench or a standard socket wrench connected to a suitable length lever: with the vehicle's wheel on the ground, insert the socket and apply your weight to the end of the lever.
