Default What size tool required to remove rear wheel
What size is that rear axle nut on the rocker? Why so complicated? I thought I had huge L wrenches but I guess not... So before I make a couple of wasted trips to the tool store can someone hit me with what I need... Thanks...

"What size tool?" .. Well mine is 5'11 and he also does some other minor repairs for me. He's a handy guy, I have to admit ... But, he's also late for dinner .. and now it's ruined!

I hear you brother...how hard would it be for MoCo to include some of the more critical nut sizes in the repair manual?

You`re kidding right?
I have never seen a shop manual of any type that tells what size wrench to use...
