| + | With the charts below and knowing or deducing the nut / bolt thread size, you can figure what size wrench is needed. If you are not sure of the thread size, you can reference the [[http://sportsterpedia.com/doku.php/techtalk:ref:tools020|Hardware P/N & Descriptions]] pages in the Sportsterpedia to find bolt sizes for IH and Evo Sportsters. And likewise, if you know the wrench size, you can sometimes deduce the thread size (barring course or fine threading). \\ | ||

| + | When you reference the hex wrench chart below, be aware that using a larger size wrench will increase the chances of stripping the bolt head corners. In some cases, you may want to try using a size above the one recommended in the chart to see if it fits by chance. Not every metric size has a perfect SAE counterpart and vice-versa. There is no perfect substitute for the right size tool. \\ | ||
