you'll need a rattle gun or a big fark off breaker bar to get it off. They all come out of Kawa Japan like that.

Best bet if you dont have access to either, is go to a tyre shop and get them to take it off for you.


In either case make sure a single hex nut is used.

Yep, what Russ said. If you go to a shop to get it done you can then just do it up a little (I shit you not) and bend the washer dodadthingy back over to go home and then take it off, thats what I have done on a few occasions. No need to tighten the fuck out of it when you do it up, either, that washer bent over will do that ;)

Good to hear.
