RE: Axle removal on an RS



Another option is to buy a 17mm Sump Plug key. Available easily in Europe(!)
and fits a standard 3/8 square drive ratchet. Used this option on Trident
Sprint without problems. Easy way, but means you have to carry the ratchet
if you want to include it on the "Bike Tool Kit".

Had enough, gone out on the bike!!!
