newbie front wheel nut question
« on: January 17, 2014, 05:13:18 AM »
Trying to work this out how do you torque up the front wheel nut ( have the extra deep socket )  without the whole axle turning, wheel is off the bike

Hole in other end about 2mm deep?

Thanks guys

my 350F had a hole there, and yours looked like it had one, too.
BUT,there ARE two flat sides on that end. 
A box wrench there, and another on the other end where the socket wouldn't fit, and you're good.
