Front Wheel removal help!

24MM hex or you can search the board for a homemade remedy involving a bolt and two nuts jammed together.
I went with the homemade remedy since I could not find any local.
 
Cycle Gear has the tool rubber2burn mentioned so I'm on may way to go and get that. What sucks about this is I was just there yesterday buying my new M3s. I could have gotten it then had I known...oh well. Thanks for all the quick responses...this org is great for that!

If you have an Auto Tech for a friend, he will have an O2 sensor removal tool,

i got mine off the snap on truck :)

And how much do they want for that? They seem to really like their tools. However, it is the best stuff out there, which is why I usually pay the extra money to get snap on. As of right now I own about $15,000 worth of snap-on stuff.
 
Well, I got my axle wrench tool. However, I can't for the life of me break that sucker loose! It is counter-clockwise to remove, isn't it? Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks.
 
Hey to all.

Go to Home Depot and get a 5/8 inch threaded rod bolt (joins 2 threaded rods together).
It is about $1.50 and use a 5/8 socket on one end.
Perfect fit.

Sax: did you loosen the 2 pinch bolts on the side that the tool goes in?
It won't turn until you do.

Lefty loosey...righty tighty :thumbsup:

You have to loosen the two pinch bolts
on the side that the tool goes into. The
other side needs to remain tight until
you get it broken loose.
