Where can I find the driver needed to loosen the rear axle as well as a socket to remove the bolt holding on the front pulley? Checked my local auto parts stores, but none of them have items that will work. |

Well....I bought mine used so it appears the previous owner decided to keep it....Guess I need to have Dave order me one. |

Motion Pro makes a tool for axles, fits several sizes, and on a ratchet, too. |

7/8" Allen wrench does the trick. Also some spark plug sockets reversed on an extension will work, if it has a 7/8 hex end. |

I bought the SnapOn ones. They make three different sizes. You only need the one if this is the only bike you have but I got all three cause I am somewhat of a tool freak. |

Go to a good hardware store, buy a 9/16" bolt with 2 matching nuts. Lock the nuts together (preferably with the sides of the nuts lining up), waaalaaa, axle removal tool. |

Here is the McMaster-Carr part no. for a 7/8 allen key. $13.65 Works great when use with a rubber mallet. 7122A33 |

That 7/8" allen wrench did the trick. Plus, it was like having a built in breaker bar. Thanks. |

It works for the front axle too. |
