Went to re-torque the wheels (should be done since they were newly installed when I picked it up and have had about 300 miles on them now). What size socket do i need? I have a 1/2" 50-250 ft-lb torque wrench but not the appropriate socket size in my honkin' big Stanley set Smile

Rather than do this trial and error, I thought I would ask.

OOPS!! Oich! Alloy!! Not steel. Finally found the paperwork - I thought he had said steel in the listing.

1" it was! All done. Next chore - lube & oil change. Doing this in stages - one at a time.
