Title: Rear Axle Nut
Post by: longms on January 04, 2010, 02:38:30 PM

I need to get a socket for this bad boy because I do not have one big enough. What size might this ginormous nut be?

28mm???
30mm???

I would check the book but I am at work and want to pick up the socket on the way home and I cannot seem to find the size.

Thanks
