front axle

[tcchin]

Part number 93525A315 from McMaster-Carr is only $3.80. That's a lot less than $12.95...

Yes, you're right Tim, my mistake. I didn't look it up by the part number you gave - just browsed around the couplers and it said $30, but it also said grade 8, maybe that's why. Searched by part number and sure enough - $3.80. Anyway, it's a great, and cheap, idea. I'll remember it for next time.

Wow, you guys are cheap.  ;D You pay $300 for a set of tires, but will risk a loose front axle (or a least hose up the front axle) because you do not want to spend $28.00 for a proper Snap-on socket allen wrench that is easy to torque, etc. :P

Dude, you rock. Just bought an R6 for the street and discovered a need for this tool. $12.95 is a steal! Mucho Grasias!

Alexa let me know if you bought the tool. I could laser cut a tool for you. I did not suggest it above, because not too many people have access to metal cutting laser. Cut the size hex you want with either a 3/8 or 1/2 square in the center. Probably use 1/2 steel. Take a minute or so to cut.

What size is the Gixxer end of that Circuit1 tool?
My friend has a new ZX6RR and the front axle takes a 22mm - If the Circuit1 tool will fit, I'm gonna order one of those for him.

Otherwise, does anyone know where else to order a 22mm hex bit socket?
I couldn't find one on Master-Carr.
