After getting all my gear ready to change tires today I realized I didn't have the correct size socket to remove the rear axle. I'm going to have to go buy one tomorrow but don't know what size I need. Anyone know this?

:shock:

Theres a wrench in the bikes tool bag to remove it. I think its either a 22 or a 24mm.

It's 24mm

Chain side is 22mm

Don't forget to torque it properly

Thanks guys. The bike did not come with the tool kit, damn previous owner lost it. I'll go by the auto-parts store today. :grin:

The nut side is 27mm (1 1/16" works just as well), while the bolt side is 22mm, which can also be substituted with 7/8"

Shit!!! my bad Chris. Not enough coffee yet. :whip:

And to quote you from another thread

BTW, chain slack is measured on the sidestand, not center stand.

OK, I just orderd the tool kit through RonAyers and the large wrench is, indeed, a 27mm. Thanks for the correction although it never hurts to have more tools in the garage! :grin:

Naw.... just pull on the wrench until your third fingure starts to feel funny.

And if your trying to save on gas mileage, just go for the second fingure pull.
