Need to remove the wheels for new tires and don't know the size.

Thanks

There should be a tool in your tool kit (under the seat, look close) that looks like a long nut. Insert that into the axle and turn it with a 4-way lug wrench or appropriate socket. It may be metric but a 7/8" works on mine, if I remember right.

Good luck,
Bill

Thanks! That was the last place I thought to look.

Badwebbers rock again!

Well, the one that came with my kit snapped in half while trying to get the front wheel off. Another Badwebber loaned me his but I need one myself. Any ideas where I can get one, especially one of better quality than mine?

A 7/8 allen wrench will do the trick, or a spark plug socket with a 7/8 hex reversed on an extension.
