rear axel nut

[ripster31]

Sorry guys my kid lost my socket I use to loosen the nut and to torque it back on my rear axel to remove the rear tire. I know its bigger than a 19mm, but can someone tell me what mm is the nut for the rear axel so I can go and buy another socket.  I have tried to find it in the service manual to no avail.  I know its simple but just don't want to buy sockets I don't need.   Thanks for your help in this matter.

27mm., at least for a 3rd gen Magna.

Man if I had a dollar for every. Socket I've lost!

Seriously though, you should have wrenches in your toolkit, if you still have that.

yeah I do have the wrenches but I use the socket when I torque it to spec.  But thank you for responding.  Im sorry but I meant to say I have a 1996 vf750c.

By the way, if it's an inch and a sixteeth long, how do you turn it?
