Spoke nipple size, spoke wrench, spoke torque

Nowhere to be found in my service manual for my 1996 Adventurer. Can someone tell me spoke nipple size, which one and where to get a spoke wrench, and the spoke nipple torque settings?

thanks!

There is no specific torque setting since it varies with the spoke tension.

If you have loose spokes, take it to a bike shop that does adjustment and truing.

I'd very strongly recommend that you find a shop who can fix things before you attempt it yourself.

I don't think adjusting spokes or wheel truing is so mystical or difficult. Pulling carbs and cleaning/rebuilding/reinstalling/adjusting/synching them is a very complicated process that is not for all people yet it is regularly discussed here. I am just asking for nipple size, suggestions for a good spoke wrench and torque settings. If there are no torque settings, fine. I just asked about them because someone else in a much earlier post had inquired about them.
