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 |

 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

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. |

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.
