5/8" just a guess. Can you post apick of your bottle opener.

it probably something stupid like a 19/32 cause a 9/16 ...5/8...13/16 wont work .

what is the correct size wrench for the axle nuts on a morrow coaster brake rear hub :?: :

the correct sized wrench would be the one that fits the axle nut tightly. if the wrench just slips off the nut, or wont fit at all, its the wrong sized wrench.

metric?! METRIC??!!

Remember- in 1947 the metric system was still a communist plot for world domination and even rates below 'crescent wrench' :mrgreen:

i dunno..... i do know what size the nuts are...... :wink:

[Danimal]

Well, I'm sure it must be a Whitworth size, but I can't be sure which.

I'm going to say 5/8W. And the correct term for the tool you use is a spanner when you are removing british nuts :wink:

 

[Bendix]

metric?! whitworth?! SPANNER!??

so where did the british angle come from?! for goodness sake, it's a MORROW, the Great American Klunker Hub. somebody, anybody, PLEASE answer this correctly and put this sorry excuse of a thread out of it's misery.....:lol:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Ok an 11/16 wrench fits my morrow hub :roll:

 

[MikeS]

I read danimal's posts and didn't even check back to see what type of hub we were talking about Darn a.d.d.! If no one has an answer by morning I'll get a wrench on one and get back to you :lol:

 

[Danimal]

Ok, since we need a scecific answer, I'll go with a 9/16 Whitworth *Spanner*. That willl aid in removing the wheel and *tyre*.

Dan

 

[roadmaster]

my guess would be a 11/16th, too.

 

[BrigmasterA]

Well, I had a new departure rim that the nuts were too big for a 9/16, and too small for a 5/8. So I used a 15mm. And it fit perfectly... Which in standard size is 19/32, I believe. But I don't own a wrench that size, so I used the closest equivalant, 15mm.
