Default What size socket...

... is needed to remove the rear axle on my SG? Need to pick one up for both sides tomorrow so that I can install my new wheels. Thanks.

Dang HD2007....I'm surprised at You using metric tool on a Harley!! Its funny because the axle on my RMZ is an 1 1/4 inch....go figure.It might be metric, but thats what fits it perfect. I'm actually going to have to check and see if I have one to fit that Ultra. If not, I'm gonna get one from that guy you said.....Thanks.

I haven't checked on my bike, but if it is a 36mm then the conversion would be 1 13/32 (1.406) American standard.
