    Default Pivot Nut Tool

    Going to replace my rear tire soon and was wondering if anyone knows what size of a Pivot Nut Tool / Freewheel Tool I should buy to remove the nut when replacing the bearings.

    I forget the size, but when someone here gives you the size, try buying it at a bicycle shop. I actually ordered
    mine on ebay, before I found out the bicycle shops use the same size. I think I paid around $ 20. Good luck.

    Tried to search with no luck. If you made it out of a piece of flat metal, what is the width of the piece?

    Look for the FR-6 tool for BMX bikes. About $15 or so.
