Jan 10, 2003 9:38 AM | | 26mm..be very careful not to strip the corners on the nut part. I did and fox was kind enough to send me another for free and I promptly almost stripped it too. Find a six-sided socket if you can (fox says to use one), if your socket is 12 sided or whatever be very careful. |

Jan 10, 2003 10:20 PM | | ...like Swamprat says - and your manual (available on Fox website too).
You should be able to go into a Sears and buy a 3/8 or 1/2 drive socket...or...you can use an adjustable wrench like I do.
Just be vewy vewy cahful (best Elmer Fudd impression). That aluminum is soft.

Jan 12, 2003 7:04 PM | | I found out that Sears doesn't make a 26mm socket, most companies don't, and if they do....it is a 12 point. Snap On, Matco, and SK Tools make a 6 point 26mm socket in 1/2" drive, for the low cost of $17.70 to $18.50. I found one at a farm store out in the middle of nowhere, all of the other 26mm sockets they had were 12 point, I got the only 6 point they had, and the package was marked as a 12 point, bonus was it was only $3.99. |
