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.

I don't know the size but there is a wrench in the tool kit that will work. Might have to put a pipe on it though.

It's 24mm

Chain side is 22mm

edited to add:

Don't forget to torque it properly

69 ft lbs if memory serves me correctly :wink:

Good memory

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

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.

:roll:

Same here. :wink:

22mm on clutch side and 27mm on throttle side.
