Front Wheel Spindle Tool
Today I removed the front wheel for the first time, I followed Shazaam!'s wise words on wheel removal with one exception, my tool kit doesnt include the tool described thus
"There's a tool that fits inside the right hand end of the axle that comes in the tool kit. It looks like a short piece of tubing with a couple of holes in it and a couple of pins sticking out on opposite side."
can anyone send me a part number or advise where it can be bought.
I use a small screwdriver inserted thru the holes left for adjusting the forks. I find that the spindle doesn't drift too much when doing it up so I only have to nudge it once or twice back into position before tightening it up completely
