Front Wheel Removal 07

[Phazernut]

OK....I may be dumb but what in the hell do you use to loosen the front axel? Is there supposed to be some sort of tool in the kit to fit in the giant nut type hole? If there is I don't have it. Trying to get the wheels of the have the tires changed. Rear was no issue but the front has me stumped.

there's a special tool not in the tool kit. some pple have mcgaver'd their own tool.

 

[Phazernut]

Great. Now where to find one is the question

 

[Big E]

Just make one. Hit up the local hardware store.

You can get it from Lowes or Home depot for a couple of dollars. It is called a rod coupling nut. 5/8"-11x2-1/8 Can be found where the nut ans washers.

Well did you get it off?

 

[Phazernut]

Got it off. Bought a 5/8 bolt and welded a 5/8 nut to it. Worked perfectly.

On my zx6r I used the back side of a spark plug socket as it was hex shaped. Dunno if you could do that in the future. My 99 busa has a regular nut.
