hub torque is 300nm +45 degrees,depending on what hub caps its got on they can be a swine to get off .socket looks a bargain especially from a dealer.

Old scania kingpins up to 04 used to be taper pin and roller bearings with various size of lift shim.
Dead easy to do as opposed to stupid bloody parallel pin and bush settups used by our german collegues.
