Does anyone know the size of the nut on top of the forks I remove to switch out the springs on my 2012 Street Glide ?.. I'd like to know before I tear it down.. I can't get to it under the fairing to measure it... thanks.. Len

 

I'm almost positive it's 1 1/2"

 

is there a MM size also ??

 

1 3/8

 

35mm, I bought a box end for the job

 

1/38 you can get it at jp cycles makes the job go muuuuuch more easy.

 

I bought a (open-end and box-end) at Amazon for $13 shipped and it works well to remove the caps.

 

Doing mine thi s weekend and I for sure don't wanna hijack ya here, but this question might help us both, how thick can the box end be on the wrench. I have many to choose from, but want to bring the correct one home the first time. Hope this helps us both out

I just use the rear axle nut wrench that came in my tool kit. I've done it plenty of times when changing fork oil the "iclick" way. Best thread to date BTW!

 

Just a standard 1/38 boxed end wrench will take it loose problem is you can't take any torque readings with a boxed end wrench when installing the nut.that being said I know there's plenty of people who will tell ya you don't need torque reading I just think its better if ya can, imo
