I have a quick question that may sound stupid...but I don't have a socket to fit over the axle nut and don't want to just start buying sockets left and right. What size is the axle nut exactly? Almost looks like a 32 to me but I'm not quite sure.

 

I use crescent wrenches gently on mine.

 

32mm or a tool in the tool kit if you have it.

 

Thanks! Tool kit didn't come with the bike[:@]

 

yeah 32mm. I tried to use a 1 1/4" but that was just a tad too tight!
