Front Wheel Removal Tool Axle Spindle

[Stephen.Stallebrass]

Hi all:

Just wanted to check the removal of the front wheel requires a 22mm Hex (allen) or one of these wheel removal gizmo's... I need one for my touring tool kit.



Also, can you confirm that it's a 27mm nut on the rear?

Thanks

ive got one for the front but you dont need one for the rear.  Id take both wheels out one day just as a test and to see exactly what you need, better find out now than up some snowy alp

Front axle is 22mm
Rear is 27mm [ plus a new split pin ]

Thank you. 

A spare split pin is a great idea.

Baracuda:

Where did you get that? Do you have a link?

Have you used it? Any good? £4 is good value.

All in swedish    helps alot....

Used it yesterday, and it Worked on both my GTR and ZRX together with a 19 mm socket/ wrench.

Haven't seen this model anywhere else.
I can bring a bunch to 2014 meeting if anybody is interested.  :)

halfords sell the one for the front on their motorbike section, Its£10 , same as most ebayers. As i said you dont need one for the back , just a waste of money and additional weight on the bike

I got mine from Halfords as well. Also have a 27mm for the rear wheel.

Mr Bacaruda what is that contraption you are using to support the front forks?

Mr Bacaruda what is that contraption you are using to support the front forks?

Ah, mr Wolf it's "Design by JB" (Johan Bergquist aka Bacaruda)  I made it from a alu-profile system called ITEM, (used ITEM-profiles at my former work). I designed it to serve as a support for both the fork, and as a frame support (after rebuilding it) when removing the complete fork/and/or front wheel on my ZRX. The rex don't have  centerstand so i lift the bike with the rear paddock stand, put the support under the frame and lower the paddock stand, woila, front is flying free!

Very good, it looked at first to me like a modified pair of aluminium step ladders.

Thank you.

Or use an 'R'  clip which is re-usable 

[doebag]

You are quite right O.C
And if had done my own wheel removal instead of the dealer, I would have used an R clip.

One of these?



One of these it is.
