ill get you size in a minute................
***note*** also easier to at least break it loose when wheel is on ground, then jack up, then remove
Nice Mike, you are always here to chime in on my problem!
Let me know about that gigantic Hex for the both sides!
If you know where to get it too, I'd appreciate it........
But at the same time, how the hell would you know the torque for that thing?!
I'm sure that it doesn't come with a socket for the torque wrench?!

I went to 2 Sears around my town and they both didn't have the 3/4 Hex!
They had the 14mm but in a set with some standards... How does that happen?
And it was $40 with 4 hex so I just figured I'll just get it online from sears and purchase the single unit.
It's not a common Hex I assume.....LOL

Try an industrial supply house and buy a 3/4 allen wrench and cut off a piece and use a 3/4 six point socket

Great Idea!



I just figured I'd go to harbor freight since that is close by.
My man Mike who sold me the fender has such good idea with putting this fender on.
