Title: Quick socket size help needed!
Post by: Tombstones81 on November 04, 2011, 05:07:44 PM
Need to know the socket size for the Big middle bolt on top of the triple clamp.

biggest I have is a size 21 and its a lil small.

only have the front end left to take off the frame and that bolt is holding me up.

Gotta pick up the right size socket tomorrow morning after work.
Which I leave for in 2 hrs, so I would greatly appreciate an answer before then  :thumb:

thanks

I just removed mine a couple nights ago. It's a 22.

I recommend you purchase a vernier caliper while you're at the store. It's inexpensive, and super handy when you need to buy odd size sockets for parts like axle bolts.

There's a hub nut under the upper tripple. You can remove it with a socket extension and a dead blow hammer.

figures it would only be 1 up from the biggest I have.
Would of just asked the neighbor but I would rather my own tools as I will need it later on too.
