Changing Rear Wheel On 1299s

  1. Hi guys,
    I want to buy all the necessary tools for changing the rear wheel on my 1299s .
    Could you experts tell me what size nut I should buy . And I’ve heard that the torque settings are quite high so what breaker bar/torque wrench do you guys recommend I buy?

    Thankyou for your patience with the newbie.

  2. 55mm bi-hex socket required. A good quality steel one like the one about 2/3 down this page.
     
  3. What are most track day guys using at the track to take their wheels off?
     
  4. As @Cream_Revenge says. An impact wrench for undoing and a good quality torque wrench for doing it back up.

    I can also recommend the Machine Mart Clarke CEW1000 wrench.

    You can get impact sockets cheaply enough. I bought this 46mm one from eBay last week for my Hyperstrada. Your 1299 will be larger though!
