I know this is a Valk Board(ride a '99 std.) But, I've decided it would be easier to make a house call on a friend's '05 GW trike. Want to make sure I take ALL tools I need to pull front wheel--nothing worse than discovering you need something that's at the shop 18 miles away!!!! How often does that happen?

Thanks for your help,

Some metric allens to pull the fender segments and pinch bolts...a 12mm socket (I think) to pull the brake calipers...I don't remember the axle nut size...seemed very similiar to the valk...I don't recall the actual tools, but there were no real surprises if you've done a valk...

Some 5mm allens for the front half of fender (the longer bolts with the rubber washers go in the BOTTOM holes-- so many get this wrong).  Same for the chrome caliper covers.  A 12mm hex socket for pinch bolts and right caliper bracket.  A 6mm? allen for lower bolt on left caliper (can't remember for sure).  A torx socket (don't recall size) for upper bolt on left caliper where it attaches to the secondary master cylinder.  Same size as Valk for front axle bolt, I use 7/8" hex socket.

If it has rotor covers, they're not factory, and the different manufacturers use different hardware.... so good luck with that!   Also, most add the ring of fire lights if they've got the rotor covers, which don't have a wiring disconnect, so they'll just dangle.  I HATE rings of fire....
