OregonAl Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 My Tenni didn't come with a tool kit, what is the size of the rear axle nut please?
savagehenry Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 And the hex opening on the housing side is 14mm A 1/2" allen will do, but is a bit small for the perfectionists among us

gstallons Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 The 9/16" allen wrench i tried yesterday did not fit. After the bench grinder, it fit..... Get a 14mm socket on a 3/8" in drive from a tool vendor. You can keep it in your tool kit. Same goes for the other sizes. They are more compact that allen wrenches and you can use extensions, breaker bars, ratchets,etc. on the same tool.

Now you have a custom cut, one off Guzzi axle tool! I can't imagine it took too much massaging to fit it. After tiring of going into the bike's tool kit every time I needed the 14mm hex, I bought a 14mm-3/8 drive socket from my Snap-on dealer just a week ago. $24.77. gulp.
