does anyone know the size of the upper fork nut on a 06 flht standard? want to change my oil like some of the posts have done but 1 post calls for a 36 mm wrench to break the nut loose. too big. tried a 34 too small. is it sae? metric? at a stand still until i find the proper size

 

either 7/16. 3/8, 9/16, or 1/2

 

1 3/8

 

blueflht,

Boswell's on Fessler's Lane is having a shin-dig October 3-4
October 4 I'm putting my scoot in their bike show.
Try to come out...I'll buy you a beer!

 

I used a pair of channel locks to remove mine (and a few others) . A little piece of duct tape keeps it from getting marred up.

 

NOOOO say its not so

 

badpiggy you win the brass chew toy!!! ill try to make the doins on oct BUT bumpus hog club has their chili contest on oct 5 and i intend on winning for the 3 rd yr in a row!
plus i dont think i can park my scoot next to that custom job you have! bagger envy!!!!

 

I hear ya, I like having the right tool for the job too. But they are not on very tight, and you can easily remove them without marring them if you are careful.

 

I used 36mm which is the axle nut wrench in my stock tool kit. I wedged a little piece of aluminum from a pop can so it was tight. it worked great no marring.

 

36 mm was way to big to do the job. hate to to it halfway wrong nso i bought the rite tool. no issues
