[Ducati] Front Axle Nut size?

[J Hundertmark]

Maybe not - Depends on the tolerance of both the socket & the applicable 
nut - I've actually had some English measurement sockets fit better on 
Metric nuts - Worth a try, especially if they'll walk out to the parking lot 
to try it.  This does tend to work more on the large size fasteners which is 
the area where you are.

1.125" would be too small, right?

29mm = ~1-1/8 inch, methinks.
Or, to be exact, 1.14173 inches.
Good luck.

I just want to confirm that the front axle nut size on my 2002 900 SS is 
actually 29mm. That's what I measured anyway. It's a difficult size to find. 
I went to Sears, and while they had a place for them, none were in stock. No 
other stores that I tried had one either. I need it today or I have to 
cancel getting my new Dunlop Qualifiers on my bike tomorrow. A friend has 
tire mounting and balancing equipment.
