Hey dudes,

of course you need your collection of metric ring and open spanners, Allen and Torx bits/tools. We may want to make a list of tools to work on out FTR's. Tools we typically don't find in DIY toolboxes.

Rear axle nut: 36mm socket (?)
Front axle bolt: 22mm allen bit

Anyone care to add?

If I was to guess, I would think it has to do with the *stealability* of the part.

I have Allen wrenches all over the place but I only have a socket set of Torx and an all in one handset (that is practically useless since the hand portion is plastic").

Anyway having to get a Torx bolt loose is more trouble for a thief.

I have a set of ski racks for my Saab and they have Torx head bolts for just this reason.

HTH.

Since we're talking about tools... I'm kinda anal about torques and measurements etc so chain slack is a mind F for me. That being said, has anyone seen or had any experience using one of these chain slack tools? In theory, it makes sense but I could be missing something...
