Getting ready to lose the front end wobble at 35-40 when I take my hands of the grips. I've looked and looked but can't locate what size socket I need for the big nut. Can anybody assist? I thought of taking the nut off, yes it's that loose, and hauling down to harbor freight, but I'm hoping one of you knows the answer. Thanks.
 
If you're talking about the BIG nut, you use a hook or pin spanner that fits in the notches. Folks have gotten them from McMaster-Carr, but i don't remember the part number. You could probably do a search and find it. It's not really recommended, but I have used a punch and a hammer to make the adjustment. It tends be be a little hard on the nut, though.

The spanner is for the compression ring, the nut on top has to be loosened first. I use a 15" adjustable wrench for that.
