Hi... anyone knows which shop sell size 36mm spanner? DIY shops such as HomeFix only carry up to 32mm size

You can try the hardware shop beside Ah boy.

If you can't find a 36mm spanner there, try the

hardware shops at the next road parallel

to Kelantan lane.

If you need a 36mm spanner you would either be removing the locknut for your rear axle or the Front sprocket locknut. In either case I would recommend that you buy a 36mm Socket, 6 sided, in 1/2" drive, it wont round out nuts as easily as multispline sockets. spline

It will be far easier to get the reach on the large nuts, and a quality socket will be more cost effective. A large heavy wrench is harder to pack on your bike for longer trips, unlike a socket.

Finally if you do intend to work on your bike then investing in a quality socket set is the best way to go.

Thanks skybono and kirra55... Yes i am trying to loosen the rear wheel axle nut to tighten my chain. Will look for the socket in the hardware shops near ah boy...

Yes, you need a quality socket for a hugh 36m nut. You might want to invest a torque wrench for correct tightening torque for such a big nut.

Yes I was looking for a torque wrench too... But the ones I found cost around S$200

a better quality one is about that price, it should comes with a calibration certificate.

i hope you meant an average quality one. a good quality one costs way more than that.

alright, a S$200 torque wrench is an average quality one
