Kawasaki Vaquero Front Wheel Removal

[@bradhall222]

Thank you for letting me know about that tool. I had no idea on my ZRX 1100.

The hex side of a 13/16 spark plug socket works. I've been using it for 12 years and three tires

[@SteveTurnbow-wm9xm]

This was the best solution I found as well I used the base side of the socket and a pipe wrench to grab and turn the axle shaft.

As others have stated, use the hex end of 13/16 sparkplug socket. Remove the rubber plug holder from the socket and insert an extension back into the open end (where a sparkplug would go). Removed my wheel today to send off for new rubber. Ordered a 22mm hex socket off the jungle website for install.

Yep I been doing in the hard way, took a 22metric head bold and welded on two nuts and stuck it on the hole and worked for les than $5.00 but now will get the tool you used thanks.

[@YogisCycleService]

Thank you for your post.

[@kent.6063]

What values are those?

[@ryanwandling4230]

How many lbs did you torque that axel too when you put it back on?? I’m doing mine tomorrow!

[@EcSsAwS]

Fun fact. A 13/16 spark plug socket fits in the Allen head axle. The hex part on the spark plug socket is same size Then I just welded a bolt and nut together to fit the socket. And bam

[@dudleydriller]

You could of used a bolt head and welded a nut on the other side I made that tool in a pinch myself for the same reason

[@YogisCycleService]

Yes very true Thank you for commenting!
