36 MM axle nut

[wiesjon]

Most people probably already know this, but I didn't so I'll pass along the info. I tried unsuccessfully to find a reasonably priced 36 MM end wrench so I could make chain adjustments. I recently found out that a regular
1 7/16 inch wrench works great and where I live is much easier to find.

Thanks for the heads up.

Good to know. My local Sears store stocks 36mm sockets...less than $10.

Should not be any big deal to find the socket... it is the same size as the crank pulley an rear axles on the VW Bug

Have you seen that little thing? I use a cresent wrench.

That nut is one of the few that should be torqued IMO.
Even when I use the torque wrench I am amazed at how tight it has to be.
Holds all the bearings and spacers in place at the proper tension.

3ft 1/2" breaker bar w/36mm socket makes quick work of the axle nut.
