size of rear axel head and nut - rboe - 01-01-2014
I can't seem to find what size socket/wrench I'll need for the rear axle. I have an adjustable wrench but it's not metric
but I'd rather get the corrected sized tools.Anybody here know?

Check doing 600 mile service in how to. Pretty sure I put it on there. Looks like 32 mm on one side, 27 mm on other side, but Ive only needed the 32 since Ive never removed the wheel

OOOh! Dang, I forgot about that little section.

My 1 1/4 socket fits the nut on the rear axle real good.
I have a 27mm box end wrench for the other side so I should be golden when it comes time for anew tire.

Rear wheel :
r/s axle nut..... 32 mm. ( 1 1/4" will fit)
l/s axle nut .... 27 mm
Chain adjuster bolts......8 mm
From the section our friendly neighborhood Ferret. And a tip of the cap to Ole to!

I do read these posts even if I don't always reply. My adjustable wrench works on both metric and SAE nuts.

You must buy the better quality line of tools then.

Isn't when it is laying on one side it is standard, and when you flip it over it is on the metric side?
All of mine work for either standard or metric, I just flip it over in my hand when I want to use it on the other type...

This is a great forum! I learn so much here that I almost save the amount I spend on farkles that I've seen posted here. Almost!
