Tools to Remove a Front Axle on a Suzuki SV650S
The Suzuki SV650S is an extremely popular motorcycle and many do-it-yourself owners are interested in servicing their own bikes. As such, it sometimes is necessary to remove the front wheel and axle. This can be an easy undertaking with the right tools.
Removing Brake Caliper
The first step to removing the front axle is first to remove the brake caliper. This requires a metric socket set kit, in particular a 14-mm socket.
Axle Pinch Bolt
To loosen the axle pinch bolt on the front fork leg, a 12-mm metric socket is required. Once the pinch bolt is loosened, you can proceed to removing the axle.
Front Axle Removal
To remove the front axle, one first must loosen the front axle with a special tool (Suzuki code 0990Q-18710). This tool also is known as a hexagon bit 12-mm drive. After loosening, the wheel can be lifted off the ground and the front axle removed completely. A motorcycle jack, lift, stand or other device will be required to lift the motorcycle up off the front wheel.
