I’m trying to remove the rear tire. What size is rear axle nut on 86 fxr?
Post Body

Im realizing I don’t have the right size wrench/ socket. Before I go spend money I want to know what I need.

A 15/16 will fit on the bolt but it seems like there is more play than their should be.

A 1 & 1/16 will bite on the nut but it’s very loose and would just strip it. I’m starting to think they are metric sizes but I don’t have them either way. Maybe 24mm and 27 mm?

P.s…. When I go to put it back on, it’s supposed to be done with a torque wrench right? Can I just put the torque wrench on the bolt and hold the nut still? I’m asking because if so, I could avoid removing the tail pipe

So just to be clear…. the bolt head should be on the right side with the exhaust? Right now the bolt head is on the left side, with the nut on the right side with the exhaust.
