Socket size?

Post by roper »

I was wondering if anyone would know what size socket I need to remove my rear wheel off my Daytona T595.As it's got a puncture and is stuck in Dobwalls at a mates house and I need to get the wheel off to take it to gupa p.I've taken father in laws sockets which went up to 1,3/4inch and they were to small.So until I can find the right size i'm bike less.Also where would i get such a socket from? Cheers in advance people.

Size is absolutely bloody huge! I'll let you know tonight what size the socket is as I have one for my T595 ( I seem to recall 52mm?). I got it from Halfords but only in the impact driver section (ie it is cast and black as opposed to a chrome vanadium socket from the sockets section)... if you can get to Widwell or to Stonehouse in Plymouth I might be prepared to let you borrow it... but you may have to leave your wife as a deposit :lol:

cheers mate,gupa p seemed to think that it was 46mm so i've had to go out and buy a bloody big draper socket set for £75,but the biggest size in there is 46mm so i'm hopping your wrong,if not I would be very grateful if I could borrow it off of you mate,I would be more than willing to leave the wife as a deposit,although i don't think that would fill you with to much confidence that you'd be getting it back :lol:

So Roper, you must be the fellow riding round with the number plate sticker saying 'My other violent slapper is at home'.

Hope you're sorted... checked mine and it is 1" 13/16 which is just a smidge over 46mm... sorry for the bum steer... anyway as long as you're sorted.. if not let me know... it's still here if you need it!

'0-CASUALTY in 2.8 seconds' is the one I'm looking for.
