Front wheel removal

[mehaffydr]

Can someone tell me the size of the allen type socket needed to remove front wheel. THANKS

19mm.

There's one in your Yamaha supplied tool kit. It's not an allen wrench but a two sided socket wrench with an outside diameter 19 mm hex.

I found an old motorcycle spark plug wrench with a 19MM base, and a square throat (inside) that I was able to jury rig with a short extension to be able to use my torque wrench to torque the front axle to spec. You probably have one lying around somewhere too - the price is right!

McMaster Carr or McMaster Carr has a 19mm 1/2 inch drive allan head socket for like 12.00 or something extremly low like that...I bought one and I had it the next day, Snap-On wanted like 40 bucks for one...

I did find the item number it is 5571A79. Just used it the other night it is always great to have the right tool for the job.

Or get the steering bearing and axle tools from Bike Johnny, both for about $35.

I got cheap ($9) and went to SEARS and found a cold chisel with a 19mm handle, cut half of it off with cut off wheel, dressed it down a little and Waa! Laa! instant Yamaha axle tool and a short chisel to boot! lol Seriously though it works great and if you needed it yesterday, SEARS is the place!
