Webb Well Known Member Sponsor Sep 14, 2023 #1 If newbie’s are looking for something to practice on, I suggest an axle wrench. It will be needed later. 8 bucks well spent. That being said, a slight adjustment was needed….it needed to be bent. Attachments IMG_1144.jpg 465.4 KB · Views: 100 IMG_1143.jpg 326.6 KB · Views: 80

RV8JD Well Known Member Sep 15, 2023 #7 Anti-Splat has two different versions that cover all the RV's. You don't get the fun of building it though. https://antisplataero.com/products/axle-nose-fork-nut-wrench "We offer these in the 1-1/2” size that fits all models except the RV-10, and a 1-3/4” version to fit the RV-10."

CT Brietigam Well Known Member Friend Sep 15, 2023 #9 Axel wrench If you're going to carry just one wrench, then I suggest picking one for multiple uses. Billeted aluminum. Available on eBay for just over $12.00. CTBrietigam RV-6XXL Last edited: Sep 15, 2023
