Hey guys,
I decided to save a couple of bucks this weekend and perform a couple of upgrades in my garage on my 05 ZX6R.
Problem #1 - trying to remove front sprocket - i borrowed an impact wrench from a friend but my question is can I put the bike in gear and apply the wrench to the sprocket nut. I've read that it should be removed with the chain still installed with the rear tire on the ground but I already removed the chain because I'm replacing it with an RK chain.
Problem #2 - the stealership wanted to charge me 90 bucks per wheel to replace the tires but only 20 with the wheels removed - so I got the rear wheel off using the toolkit that came with the bike and it really wasn't too hard. I get to the front wheel and remove the calipers then loosen the 4 pinch bolts at the bottom of the front shocks - now i don't have a tool in the kit for the front axel nut. It looks to be about a 16 - 18mm allen hex head which I can not find at any automotive or home hardware store. Anyone know exactly what size this is and where I can get this tool?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
