Greetings:

12, 14 and 17mm should remove the shock and engine mounting bracket bolt. The shock uses a 12 on the bottom and either a 14 or a 17 at the top. The engine pivot also has different-sized heads on the bolt and larger nut.

A 7/8 SAE socket fits the rear wheel nut very nicely. Methinks 22 if your're a Metric Purist.

shame on you Wheelman for even mentioning SAE.
