How to take the wheels off?

[Rick Bay (BRA)]

Hey guys, which tools do I need to use to take the wheels off the bike?
Actually, I do know the tools but I don't know the names and sizes.
Do you know?
Please, could you help me? Also, do you know the best place or web site to buy those tools?
Thank you.

I'm assuming you want to know for an R6

Front Wheel:

6mm Allen wrench (pinch bolts)
12mm Socket (brake caliper bolts)
22mm Socket (front axel)

Rear Wheel:

34mm Socket (rear axel)

Wow, Greg, you're the man!

Thank you so much.

The question is, where do you get a 34mm socket?  And will a 1-3/8" do the trick?

I picked one up at AutoZone a couple years back.

looks as if they still carry them

Oh man! You mean my 22mm nut and two bolts isn't good enough for the front axel?

1 3/8 might work but most auto parts stores and Sears will have a 34mm.

If you are talking about the front axle, you mean this:

I made a mistake, it's a 32mm for the rear axel, not 34mm
