Can I borrow a 19 mm hex (front wheel removal)?

[Jammin]

Does someone around Central Austin have a 19 mm hex or front wheel removal tool that I could borrow for a day or two? My bike didn't come with the factory tool kit that usually has the lightweight tool.

Getting ready for a Colorado BDR trip

Poor man's work around. I think that's a 13/16" spark plug socket yielding a 22mm hex drive but you get the idea.

1/2" bolt has 3/4" head = 19mm and make what Curtis shows.^^^

I use one of these

Then 19 socket works to turn it...

Awesome, thanks for the quick input, y'all! Yes, I get it now . Don't have 1/2 inch bolts lying around. Think I'll get the coupling nut and will need it for my trip anyways.

Just turn the plug socket around on an extension. The hex head is normally 19mm (3/4).

The plug socket

True however, the socket available in my small rural town was sealed/cupped on the plug side. IOW the square drive didn't pass through. Hope my engrish iz gewd 2day.

Got the 1/2" coupling nut, worked like a charm.

Tire change underway...

Indoors where it's nice and comfortable.

I saw that, looks awesome but for the rear, I can just use an adjustable wrench, so the coupling nut goes in my tool kit

Jammin, I stole acquired that idea, I believe here on TWT.

Jeff S, I like the coupler.

Jarrett, nice multi driver too.

I think I have one but I’m up close to Weatherford. I’ll check but am pretty sure I have it and don’t have use for it now. Let me know if you don’t find a solution closer.
