I do remember that I just slipped a few sockets on there till I found it...wasn't that big a deal...
Good call :)

There was a time when I could brag about my eyes being calibrated and could call out any socket/wrench size with a quick glance. But time has caught up with me, and quite often now, I also use the try-retry (hunt/peck) method.

10 mm.

I see you never got an answer to your question?

My question is, why are you having to remove the caliper to remove the tire/wheel? You should be able to remove the axle shaft, belt, then ROLL the wheel and rotor out of your caliper. I have removed the rear wheel on my RK and my wife's Deluxe quite a few times this way never having removed the caliper.

Sorry, I can't recall off the top of my head but I believe, as someone posted earlier, the caliper bolts are 10mm.

The wheel won't move forward enough to remove the belt. The disk bottoms out into the brake assembly long before the belt gets loose enough to remove.

Can you get the bike higher in the air allowing the wheel to drop and move forward?

That's what happens when at work. It probably took me half an hour to finally reply....and the first few posts were describing the pins that hold the pads in place......
