I got to change my this week and don't have the right tools. Was wondering if anyone here has done it and can let me know which ones to get. I seen there is and axle tool in the owners manual, but I don't have it.

I hope there is a way to get around this.

Actually, there should be an axle tool in your bike's toolkit...

The axle tool is in your toolkit. If not, contact your dealer.

You need this tool, plus a 7/8" socket with wrench. You also need to undo the two pinch bolts and brake caliper bolts, I don't recall what size hex they are off hand. Make sure you have Antisieze grease for re-installation, and a torque wrench so you don't over-torque the axle.
