I put a nut that size on a bolt and welded it. Now I use a socket on the bolt.

If you don't have a welder handy JB Weld does the trick as well to keep the nuts in place! The tool shouldn't cost you over $2 with the parts from the local hardware store.

I just use a coupler nut for threaded rod from the local hardware store.

I already had one of these.. Motion Pro - Superlight T-6 Hex Axle Tool 17,19,22,24 MM from a couple of bikes before (didn't think of the welded together nut idea at the time), so that's what I use. They now have a Chr-Mo version for $10 less.

I did the exact same thing. Paid a guy $5 to weld the nuts to the bolt. Heck of a lot cheaper than the $25-$30 you'd pay if you bought the actual tool from a bike shop.

CycleGear has the tool for cheap.

if it has not been mentioned before without a weldder you can also put the nut on the bolt...drill a hole through the nut / bolt and tap in a spring pin to lock it in place, and grind it smooth.

I'm going to try this. Right now I'm using the double-nut trick...

just did the front wheels last night too!
