I have a 142x12mm SLX freehub that I need to remove. It seems to need a 15mm allen key to remove it, but I can’t seem to find one anywhere. Even tried the LBS, but they don’t have one either.

Anyone got any ideas?

Try a 10 and a 5 together, might work….

Any good motor factors should have them.

As per Druidh, or you could go for a hex socket?

Edit: Probably be too wide, though.

Fits Yamaha xt660s among get others.

If near Berks I have several.

+1 for ebay

I bodged it last time, think i clamped a bolt in the vice with the right sized head sticking out and used that

Oh I never thought of checking ebay! Thanks for that – I’ve ordered one from there and will ring the motor factors tomorrow to see if I can get one same day. May even try to get a 14mm and a 16mm for future weird size events.

Thanks all.

I yhink i have a radiator valve core wrench that is about 15mm and you get them in bandq

Same as Ash. I used a 15mm bolt in a vice, dropped the wheel on to it and span the wheel. Came off easy.

Well the motor factors were pretty useless. I’ll pop along to b&q or screwfix later to look for a radiator valve wrench and some hex bolts
