    Axle Nut Size and Spare Wheels

    Hey All,

    Just wondering if someone could tell me what the spec of the rear wheel axle nut on the @ is? I have a socket set but it's a cheap one and is missing the socket I need, but I need to know the size before ordering the socket.

    Also does anyone know where I could buy spare wheels for the @?

    Lastly, one of the screws on the body work panels is badly worn... it looks like someone over tightened the screw, even the rubber washer beneath it is a bit mangled. I want to remove the screw to check the coolant but I don't want to damage the screw further. Any advice on how I can remove the screw without damaging it further?

    Cheers,
    Slanty

    24mm socket for the rear axle, impact driver or T-handled screwdriver with correctly fitting bit for the panel screw.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
