Under the Rule of Jedi - Masshole | Did you measure with a scale or more acuratley with micrometer/calipers?
1 1/8 or 1.125 = 28.575mm
27mm = 1.0629 or 1 1/16
28mm = 1.102 no real inch size in a wrench
Just use the one that fits the tightest. But from what you stated, I'd try the 28mm
Just an FYI:
to convert fractions to decimals divide the top by the bottom: 1/8 or 1 divided by 8 = .125
To convert inches to mm multiply by 25.4: 1/2" or .500 x 25.4 = 12.7mm
To convert mm to inches muntiply by .03937 28mm x .03937 = 1.102"
And that my friends is your lesson for today! Ok school's out... go ride! |

Gettysburg, 2008 Tour Premium | Used digital calipers. in inch scale measured 1. 078 and I believe closer to 28 than 27mm. As far as interpreting the 1'st reply the asnwer may as well been Greek to me.

Gettysburg, 2008 Tour Premium | Ok I re-read devilboy's post and my question and can see where I may been misunderstood. I meant to ask what size socket to use. The specs refering to fasteners is something I have little experience in other than thread pitch to determine tap and die measuments. |

WaltI believe he was giving you the thread size vs the size of the wrench you needed to remove/tighten. |

wasn't sure what you were asking for. I though you needed to replace the nut.
I guess if you lost the nut you had a lot more trouble than figuring out what size wrench you needed to take it off..  |
