    Just pulled the wheel on my son's (new to us) 04 cr125 and noticed that I was having a hard time getting the axle nut torqued back just because the axle turned when I cranked the nut.

    The axle wrench tool which came with the bike when really brand new, did not come with this bike so I am wondering what everybody else does in this situation?

    I ended up using the claw end of a hammer (I was gentle) in the recesses on the axle to put enough bind on the axle to get it to torque but don't plan on carrying the hammer on trail rides.

    I wish the front axle on the 04 was like the one on my 300 with the pre-attached handle!

    Tighten the far side pinch bolts to hold the axle when tightening the nut, then release it and align forks and re-tighten.
