Can I borrow a front wheel spindle tool pls?
 

As per title, I want to take a loose wheel to get the tyre changed and I think it's 17mm on one side and 22mm on the other, so I need either of those please.
TIA

is it a alen style ? if so you can get the correct size one from halfords for £3

Re: Can I borrow a front wheel spindle tool pls?
 

Yes, well if that's true, that will be no problem. :)

Actually, am I right in thinking I only need either side to remove it? I can't get my head around it.

unless you need one to stop the spindle from spinning and the other to undo the nut

No, I think I've got my head around it now.
It's just like a rear wheel you can either loosen the spindle or the nut, and in the case of the front wheel there's a couple of clamping bolts to stop each of them turning.

^ cool, so you should just be able to get the smaller of the two sockets from halfords or get one off ebay

Waiting for a courior atm so house bound

haha, mine was £3 but slightly smaller from halfords so shouldn't cost much more

Is this for the ZX6? If yes then the 17mm is the nut, so loosen the clamps on that end only and undo the 17mm hex, then undo the clamps on the other end and remove the spindle.
