Get this extender and you won't have to heft so hard to get the torque you need. http://www.freedomracing.com/head-bo...SABEgJVhfD_BwE
Or, for a little more money there's this torque multiplier that triples the torque you apply! https://www.northerntool.com/shop/to...3947_200623947

For removal, why would you not use an impact wrench? I cannot see any way to harm a nut this size during removal. Installation is another issue.

Good point. I might give that a try. It would certainly cure the rotating wheel issue. I just don't want to beat up that nut. It's part of the beauty package on the Ryker!

Yes, been there done that one. But for the guys wanting to carry this tool with them, it's going to take a long air hose or a big battery powered impact to get the job done. Millwaukee makes a 3/4" Cordless Impact Wrench Kit that delivers 1500 ft.-lb. Max. Torque for just under $900.00.

On the front wheel nut removal. If you look at the back of the hub there is a slot in it and two holes in The carrier that you can put a small bar, screw driver, that will keep the wheel from turning.

Maybe a dumb question but...for those of you that have removed/tightened your wheel nuts, are the nuts left or right handed thread? Thanks in advance.

Any socket with the rounded tips may not work on the Ryker. I bought this socket for $44 with shipping included. Notice the squared tips to the teeth in the socket. The rounded tips may work but i thing this one fits better. just my opinion.

Hi all just an addition to tools for Ryker wheel removal. 1/2 inch small extension so it will clear rear wheel spokes when using 300nm toque wrench. Hopefully carried by brake down regards Nico 75

I was happy to see this post about the tools. I have done all my own auto work since I was 15. Bought the tools, read the books. I like doing the work and if something is not right I have only myself to blame. I was wondering what socket was needed to get that wheel nut off. I will buy the socket and 3/4 inch torque wrench. It is hard to keep the wheels clean and I have thought about taking them off every so often to do clean.
Thanks for the particulars on the socket size. Plus the fact it is a 2 1/2 hour drive to the closest dealer.....

Got my 65mm socket from the UK today, found a baggie in the kitchen. So I went out to my shop; nope, no Rally there yet! Dang, three more weeks. I have my CalSci windscreen, my top box and my wheel nut socket so I'm obviously ready.

Dang, that's like having chocolate sauce and sprinkles but no ice cream.

It's worse! If it was just chocolate sauce and sprinkles, I could put that on toast!
