What size socket do I need to remove the big nut that you remove to get off the rear wheel? I have used a large adjustable wrench, but I want to just carry a socket with me on the road.

You could buy the Fredette axle wrench with 22 on one end and 24 on the other, or you could select 22 and 24 as two of your three MP T6 tire spoons. For the third, you want the 12/13 with the lip.> > Thanks guys. I have an '08. I didn't think I had a wrench that fit it, but I > could have been mistaken. I will buy the 24mm socket anyway.

Great idea Jud! I wasn't familiar with the product, but after using The Google, I found them. However, at this linkhttp://frpoffroad.com/catalog/details.aspx?ProdID=4>to their products, I couldn't find their 22/24 combo. I also couldn't find it herehttp://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/4/22/278/4720/ITEM/Moose-Racing-Riders-Wrench-By-Fredette.aspx>. Do you know of any place that would sell them? If they don't make the 22/24mm combo, which would be a better combo: the 17/24 or the 19/24?

Why bother with a limited-use box-end wrench? The best combo would be the 7" or 10" Knipex Cobra pliers: http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/000655.php> Strong lightweight German quality. They don't slip, and they're so strong you can stand on them to remove a fastener. I carry the 7" set in my bike's toolkit, and I use the similar 10" Knipex Alligator pliers in the garage. The Cobra plier is the better of the two.
