Can anyone confirm the 2021 F3-S Rear Axle Nut Size?

[Hogmonster]

Hi All,
I have tried searching for this as I'm sure it's been discussed.
Can someone confirm the rear axle nut size please, my machine is in storage so it's not easy to measure it.

Also do people replace the nut after removal or use loctite on it?

Regards Andrew (UK).

It's an M24

36mm socket to remove, reuse nut, no loctite.

M24 is thread size, the wrench required is 36mm.

The axle nut size requires a 36 mm wrench.

I have a LARGE 36mm end wrench, a 36mm socket and a torque wrench that goes to 250 lb ft to be able to torque the axle nut to the required 166 lb ft.

The 36mm socket can be used on the filter cap also. Get a hex 36mm socket, not the 12 point. Will fit better for axle nut and plastic filter nut

Hi, yes I prefer 6 sided sockets too, less chance of slipping or rounding corners. Thanks again for everyone's input, socket ordered.

I am removing the rear wheel tomorrow, from my F3, is there anything in particularly common to the Spyders I need to be aware of? I shall remove the bottom shock bolt, so I can lower the swing arm to take the tension off the belt.

Anything when re fitting it?

I've removed loads of motorcycle rear wheels but never a Spyder.

TIA,
Andrew...

The only thing I've done is unhook the dog bone from the suspension sensor and got the brake assembly out of the way and removed the shaft and get it out of there! I believe you're going to have to deal with a fender in the works. The RTs are different than the F3s! I really don't see the need to removing the shock bolt!
