Axle wrench

[Webb]

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.

Too bad they don't make one for the RV-10 axel nuts.

How big is the nut? The wrench is 1.5” and can be easily filed to accommodate a larger nut.

Harbor Freight has a large wrench set. One of them is the proper size for the 10.

I picked the set up about 10 years ago.

Anti-Splat has two different versions that cover all the RV's. You don't get the fun of building it though.

"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."​

But are they made with laser cut parts?

(My uncle who was like a father to me said “if you laugh hard enough you can’t hear yourself cry”)

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.
