How did you find a wrench that would fit into that tight area to remove the AI?

My good friend ground down one of his open ended wrenches to do his, so I was able to barrow his. If you have a cheap (made in China), you might consider it.

I picked up a cheap metric open/box end wrench set from Harbor Freight. The box end is thin walled enough it fit perfectly.

Its easier to just rip the hose part of the A.I. off from the pipe then fit a ring spanner over it.Its not like it matters if you stuff the A.I.,I cant imagine any one wanting to put it back on. :hammer:

OK, headed to the hardware store today and got a set of ring spanners.

Prior to buying this bike my entire tool collection consisted of 1 drill, 3 screw drivers, a leatherman and 2 bulldog spanners.

Thanks,

David

Then I strongly recommend a torque wrench and a manual.
