I use a long drift the diameter of the hole in the axle, but on smaller off road bikes I've use #3 or larger phillips screw drivers in the past. That said I probably didn't use that much torque. I don't think I have ever used a torque wrench on a wheel axle nut. Haven't had one fall out yet. lol

Looks like it might be Kreem in the tank. I've had Kreem in my tank for over 30 years. I coated it twice. It is supposed to cause the earth to go off its axis according to the gloom and doom crowd here, but it is still holding.

I would not scrape on the interior of the tank myself. Talk to Greg about how he would approach the inside of the tank. I know less than nothing about it. You could search here as well, but that might just cause confusion.

[QUOTE="Schwany, post: 594652, member: 10834"] I use a long drift the diameter of the hole in the axle, but on smaller off road bikes I've use #3 or larger phillips screw drivers in the past. That said I probably didn't use that much torque. I don't think I have ever used a torque wrench on a wheel axle nut. Haven't had one fall out yet. lol Looks like it might be Kreem in the tank. I've had Kreem in my tank for over 30 years. I coated it twice. It is supposed to cause the earth to go off its axis according to the gloom and doom crowd here, but it is still holding. I would not scrape on the interior of the tank myself. Talk to Greg about how he would approach the inside of the tank. I know less than nothing about it. You could search here as well, but that might just cause confusion. ;) [/QUOTE]
