What tool do you need to remove the axle? FSM says you turn it ccw 15 times or so to loosen it.

If there is not a tool in the bad under the seat you can always do what I did.

Go to Ace hardware and find a bolt/nut that fits. I spent about $2.00 and used a bolt and three nuts.

The stock tool is only eight dollars but as usual my local glamor-bike/t-shirt dealer was going to take ten days to get one in stock.

the other trick is finding an appropriate spark plug socket (with a 7/8 hex on the end of it) and putting it on an extension backwards.

does anyone know the size of the tension hex that is on the bottom of the swing arm? I'm going to measure and guess but I would rather know before I go and buy another tool.

Thanks,
Erik
