I am not sure that the Rocker and Rocker C axles are the same, but it would seem odd to me if they were not. I went to the garage and got my front axle and a 9/16 allen wrench and took a picture of them together. I tried the 1/2" allen, but it just spun around inside the nut. Because the other side of the axle is held in place by the slider cap fasteners and washers you only need the break the nut loose. Not sure why there is a difference between ours Rail.

By the way I think yours is the nicest looking Rocker I have seen so far, great work and love the pipes.

I just took both front and rear 20 minutes ago. Rear wheel is 3/4 hex/allen and the front was 9/16 hex on the brake side. it only took about 45 min to do both. If I had removed the rear fender it would have been easier I'm sure but I just had it back on after filling the plate holes and getting it painted. Too much work to take it off and back on.

MIKE
I had to change the color!!

I have been trying to post pics but they must be too large. I seem to add something or change something on the bike before I get the pics off the camera anyway.
I have the wheels off now for PC monday.
I was sideswiped in January and my guys at work made me some training wheels.(after they knew I was OK)
