Size of socket..

[HeloMech74]

I am about to pull my wheels off, and I am tired of paying a local place to do it for me. I have a crap load of tools for working on cars, airplanes and helicopters, but not a whole lot for my bike.

Soooo, on that note, what is the size of the rear axle nut? I have already found a tool for the front wheel, just need the rear one.

I searched, and maybe my search criteria wasn't correct, but nothing came up.

36mm. The only place that I found that sold box and open ended wrenches in this size was a Napa auto store, I think around $15.00

Yep 36 MM.
Sears sells them also. Craftsman; can't remember price.

That's what I thought but when I went there, the biggest they had was a 34mm.

why not use something like a 12" adjustable wrench. It works for me

That'll work also.
The only reason I got a socket was for putting it back on to get the correct torque.

 

[rubber2burn]

Yep 36mm is the right socket and the torque spec is 72.5 FT Lbs

 

[HeloMech74]

I have plenty of wrenches. I want the socket for torquing down the nut. Checked the cost of it with my Dealer account, and it will run me 24 bucks shipped. Not bad.

I guess I should clarify, I am an industrial dealer, so I get the stuff at between cost and 55% of cost.

Yeah, so do I

Even with the discount, I still spend a retarded amount of money on tools.

 

[dolilind]

Yeah but you do realize there is a axle wrench in the factory tool packet that fits this.....

I forgot all about it until the night i left me axle socket at work and needed to get the rear wheel off.

I know there is a wrench in the kit, but you can not correctly reinstall the nut with it. You need the socket to properly torque the nut.

Digging through my garage I actually found a 36mm socket.
