What wrench do you use for rear axle nuts

[Quadfather]

I know what size they are, but what are you guys using to take them off? I'm having a helluva time finding a wrench big enough?

You can buy a Honda wrench made just for that or you can buy a big a~~ pipe wrench, that's what works for me.

I've got a really big crescent wrench that works.

I bought two huge "made in Taiwan" crescent wrench's from Harbor freight for about $15.00 each


There is a guy on Ebay selling axle wrenchs made from 1/4" thick steel plate. I think they are going for about $40

If you are looking to purchase a wrench or tool for your axle nut..... I recommend another option. I would put that money towards one of those aftermarket axle "lock" nuts. Example is a Rad lock. Of coarse, you are left with how to remove the axle nut........... I would see about borrowing a huge adjustable pipe wrench.
My 2 cents.

Monkey wrench! hehe, it worked fine for me.

I think soggy rider has the best idea yet.
You can use a torque wrench with the crows feet..where as with a crescent wrench or pipe wrench you are just guessing about the correct torque.

Doesn't the pipe wrench mess up your axle nuts ?

Best thing to do is suck it up and buy a GOOD axle nut,,of your choice...use a chisel and hammer ta get it off,,that's what i did,,then I threw the POS stock nut in the friggen ditch behind my house,,cuz yes I had a hellava time myself,,especially since the clymer manual I have tells ya to turn the things the wrong FRIGGEN WAY...:mad: Ok I'm better now..:D
