Rocker axle nut
Has anyone changed out the wheels on a Rocker and know the size Allen tool needed to take the axles out ?? Its a giant Allen and I don't have anything big enough. I don't want to go to Harley for the tool unless I have no choice.

The front axel uses a 9/16 and the rear axel uses a ¾ allen wrench. You can get a good set with the

Thanks for the help. I was able to order what I need locally. We'll be in the garage changing the wheels next week.

How do you guys block your bike to take the wheel off? Did you buy a jack?

snap on wants big money for those large hex sockets, I wish I would have checked Harbor Freight 1st. I bought a 1700lb cycle lift, and it works great.
