I recommend the Earplug Company in Orlando

He rides a BMW, but he still OK ;))

 Where do those come from Andy?

 Not a biker, but a motorcyclist.

Chris:
It is unlikely that you will use this socket for anything else other than
this job, but remember, you will use it again and again if you keep the
bike.  How many nuts will you have to buy after you bitch them up with the
wrong tool?  How much damage can you cause if you don't get the nut torqued
correctly?  How many days will your knuckles be sore if the tool slips?

I'm doing this from memory, so check it, but I believe the thread is
clockwise to remove and the socket a 36mm (correct me if I am wrong, folks).
You don't have to buy a Snap On, just go to Sears or the nearest Ace
Hardware (where I found the 3/4" drive socket and 1/2" x 3/4" adapter for
the rear wheel nut, after no one else had one) and lay out less than $10 to
solve the problem.  You're not likely to wear it out, but you will get your
monies worth.

Just like removing the oil filter, it's easier to do the job right if you
have the right tool.  A wrench is easier than a screw driver through the
filter.  Ask me how I know.......
