#132156 bubbaburl (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 42 wrench size? 3 Years, 7 Months ago   hi all. well i changed oil last sat. and used a buddy's bike lift, i will own one of those real soon. So now i know that i have to go and buy a 17mm short wrench or cut one down, but what is the size wrench that fits the shock to adjust it. I know that i can jack up the r* and use a cresent wrench, but the wrench flex's to much. Just thouht if i was buying a 17mm wrench why not buy a shock wrench to. Thanks for all your help and thanks for this FORUM!!!!!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #132160 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow!

I have made a shock adjustment on a R* once and I don't remember exactly. I have metric wrenches from 6mm to 27mm and 32mm. If you go to an Advanced Auto Parts store you can get an oil drain bolt that has a magnet on the end to catch trash and it has a smaller head where the standard wrench will fit.

That's where I got the one to adjust mine. I forget off the top of my head what size it is, but it's the biggest wrench in the tool bag.   Logged     CAGUAMA-Big and Cool   The administrator has disabled public write access. #132180 bubbaburl (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 42 Re:wrench size? 3 Years, 7 Months ago   thanks everyone now i am on a mission, drain plug 32mm wrench Man i love this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #132218 Helmut (User) If you can't be young be immature Expert Boarder Posts: 421 Re:wrench size? 3 Years, 7 Months ago   I believe it is 32 mm. BUT!! the wrench should be as thin as possible. A standard wrench that size will be difficult to get in that area. That is why the supplied one is best   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
