    So I bought new rear break pads and bearing for the front and rear tires. I'll be putting everything together next week but right now my bike is in storage so I was wondering if anyone knows what size wrenches I'll need to remove both of my tires. If no one knows off the top of their head I go to the storage unit but I figured i'd ask you guys first. Thanks.

    are you rebuilding the caliper as well? should do the master cylinder at some point.

    here is the list I will add sizes in morning sizes are in my note book
    Rear tire
    brake stay nut 12mm
    adjusting rod nut 12 mm
    brake cam lever mark its position 10mm
    chain adjuster pinch bolt and nut 10mm & 10mm
    chain adjuster bolt and lock nut 10 & 12mm
    axle nut 22 mm
    front tire
    fender 12mm
    axle nut 22mm
    pinch nut and bolt 12 mm
    caliper bolts 14 mm

    put those bearings in the freezer it makes them slide right in on install

    on my 82 its 22mm and 22mm went and varified socket to nut when I saw your post.

    but I would still bring a 19 mm because it would be unpleasant if yours was different
