  • Front Axle allen size

    I am lookin to change my stock Dunlop 205s to Metzeler M3s and wanted to know the metric size ( looks like 3/8' ) allen for the front axle. So that I can get a socket for my torque wrench .

          12mm

          I bought a 12mm allen key and a cheap NN socket, my neighbour cut off a a inch and a half or so of the key. Then just JB weld it into the socket and your set. That way you can make sure the torque is correct when you put it back together.

              Picked up a set of hex sockets from ebay for $15. You can also order 12mm hex sockets from Sears.
