Heres today's silly question--what is the size of the lug nuts?  I  tried to pull the front wheels off and all the nuts are on so tight that they rounded off.  I have a nut extractor kit coming but will need to but new lug nuts.   Thanks

Yeah that sounds likely.

And they could be 14 or 17 mm hex. Both are common. If you can't find kawa nuts, one of the other jap bikes will have the same size. They are toughened nuts so best to get some genuine rather than common old nuts from the engineering supply shop.

If you searched on a jap car wreck you would find nuts with a flange built into them, a part of the nut. Those are toughened too and would do. They would be on the suspension, engine, gearbox.. If they have a separate washer mounted on the nut, but able to turn, those aren't toughened nuts. The tough ones have a flange as part of the nut.

Thanks,  14mm is the size of the nut--10mm threaded hole.  I won't need them for a few days,  tie rod ends need replaced along with brakes.  Ridiculous how tight these are

      Looking for two stock front wheels for 92 TRX300 2WD.   I think they are 6 x11" size.

      I recently noticed my Fourtrax 2WD has 4WD wheels installed on the front.  The back spacing is significantly different than 2WD wheels and they are almost touching the strut springs and the tires actually do touch the springs..   So far, no luck locating 2WD wheels to correct this issue.

      Hi, I am new to this forum I am currently working on my 1989 Yamaha front end.  The cv axles were bad so I changed them on both sides with all new wheel bearings. Now I'm looking at the front brakes and the 2 cylinders for the brake shoes on both sides do not work at all. I am also new at working on brakes so its a mystery to me what needs to be done to fix the cylinders.  Can somebody please help me with these brake issues? See the image below.
      Thank you,

      Looking for the best options. I primarily use the machine for snow removal and yard cart pulling.

      I randomly got the urge to rebuild my quad and seem to have lost my nuts and washers for mounting the head somehow. Has anyone replaced them with just some normal hardware from a local store and had luck? Really im just worried about the washer thickness and the depth of the acorn cap nuts.  I found some used sets on ebay but they want like 20+ dollars for em and then id have to wait for shipping aswell, trying to get it done before we get too much snow. 
      I am also just going to keep looking around as i know i have seen them recently, i just must have moved them to keep em safe one day and forgot where i stuck em.
