I believe the rear axle nut on the Rocker takes a 3/4 inch hex bit, is this corrrect? Any ideas where i could locate a bit that size? I want to replace the nut with a topdownpro nut which will carry my sidemount plate.

Might just be worth going to the local bike shop and offering them 20 bux to remove the stock nut and replace with the new one.

Any tips, hints suggestions?

 

bought my 3/4 inch at a local used tool shack...about $4.00

 

I looked at local used tool store and couldn't find any. Someone recommend on here

This will allow you to remove your front wheel as well.

 

Sears.com.. About $15.. Buy the 9/16th (yes Dragonslayer was right.. lol) at the same time.. You'll have them in about 4 days.. They're Craftsman and have lifetime warranty..

 

Industrial supply shops are a great place to find big tools as well... Ain't no 1 1/2" crowsfoot at Canadian Tire

 

I ordered the part online and was then walking through home depot, spied the coupling nuts (like the long nuts we have on our brake and throttle adjusts), grabbed a 3/4" one for 75c. Got home put one end in the axle nut and the other in a 3/4" socket and it came off in 2 secs...

All that effort and searching and it came down to dumb luck and 75c...
