Super *********
I'm installing a new set of Pilot Powers for the Deals Gap trip and needed to get the front wheel off. I pull out the trusted Yamaha tool pouch and proceded to find the right tool. Find it, inset it and then turn.. SNAP!!! The quality tool breaks in my hands. Now what? No problem I'll run down to the hardware store and pick one up. Easier said than done of course. I tried Pep Boys, Lowes, Autozone, Home Depot, and Sears. No one carries a 19mm hex wrench! Sears could order it, but that does me no good today.
I head home in hopes of making something work. I grab every tool I own in hopes of finding something that would get this damn wheel off. Here is the final outcome. 16mm wrench, 5/8 inch spark plug scoket and a craftsman chizel. The spark plug socket just happens to be 19mm on the hex end, the chizel just happens to fit perfectly in the 5/8 in socket and the 16mm wrench just happens to fit the chizel to a T. Long story short, the wheel is off and the tires will soon be installed.
