Not sure I understand the question, but if you mean the axles, there should be a tool for that in the tool kit. Or use a 7/8in Allen wrench. Or the top of a 13/16in spark plug socket.

7/8" for the axle, 3/8" for the axle clamp bolt.

Once you get the right tool, ( it is 7/8" allen wrench), kindly note that the threads on the front wheel are reversed.

This is indicated by an arrow on the fork.

Bring em all home then?? shees....

The pinch bolts on the front are 1/4 inch, the pinch bolt on the rear is 3/8, the axle nut tool is a 7/8 inch.

Most fasteners on the Buell are standard, a couple are metric.

Shaun,

Once you get your tools lined up, but before you attack your bike, you might want to get a copy of the shop manual.

The rear wheel removal is quite easy to do, but the procedure is a little different from most bikes. Same is true for the front.

There is probably some information on what do do in the Knowledge Vault on this site.
