The rear is a 36 mm metric. For the front you have to wait a bit. Wrote it down somewhere, will see if I can find it.

OK, found it,

to get the rear axle out on my xbones I used a 36 mm socket on the left and a 1 1/8 inch wrench on the right to stop the axle rotating

to get the front axle out, I used a 24 mm socket on the left and a 15/16 inch wrench on the right to stop the axle rotating.

Hope this helps and your 2010 Deluxe uses same nuts as my 2009 Xbones
