what size is the rear axle nut, they are different on both sides, the only tool set i have is a stanley 151 piece, but the biggest the sockets go is 1 inch. i know that it's metric. i have an '04 kdx 220, i don't know if it's different on different years or what
thanks in advance

A 20mm nut won't fit into a 20mm socket. A nut size is the size of the bolt it threads onto (a 1/4"x20 nut fits onto a 1/4" diameter coarse threaded bolt/machine screw). A 1/4" wrench/socket won't fit.
I use the famous adjustable wrench on the axle nut...and another on the axle. You can use a screwdriver that fits through the hole in the axle flange, too.
Whatever size it is (I don't have a metric that big either..thus the 'crescent' wrench approach), but there is an SAE size that fits it...I think. 1 1/4" maybe?

I was wondering about that CC. We've got a set of SAE and Metric sockets that are large enough to work on the axle nut. I don't normally think about it, I just grab whatever metric size looks like it will work.

Some SAEs fit fine..some don't.; But ya'll knew that........
I need to get a wrench to fit the axle nut. A wrench will at least keep you 'straight' on the nut, vs: the bit of angle you get by extension using a ratchet/socket.
Parker...certainly use a 6 point socket any time you can. 12 point pieces are much more likely to cause a problem.
'Crescent' is a brand name..and likely will work better than your one-each 'adjustable' wrench. Sorta like saying 'Kleenex' when you mean 'tissue'.
...A BTW that I'm sure riveted your attention!!! Glad to be of service!!

Also, when using an adjustable wrench(especially one that is not a brand name, or of great quality) note that the adjustable side of the jaw will flex/move some. Be sure to turn the wrench the correct way as to not allow the moving jaw to be on the 'pushing' side. This can help avoid rounding off stuff when using an adj wrench.

Parker, it is 27mm. Add it to the "list of stuff to get before a shiny pipe". You do have a "list of stuff to get before a shiny pipe", don't you?
As far as SAE equivalent, it is 1 1/16", as it is 26.9875mm. If you are looking to buy one, I also suggest you go for the 6-sided sockets. I generally use Craftsman, but they don't have a 6-sided 27mm socket. They do have a 1/2" drive 1 1/16" 6-sided socket, though. For $5.49, plus tax, it's a good deal. It works fine for me, and I don't have to worry about getting my nuts damaged.

When I ordered some stuff from Fredette a couple of weeks ago he said that he had some website work done and some of the things on his site are not showing up like they used to. Told me he would get it worked out but if you have any questions just call and ask him. As always he's happy to take your call.

I've got a 27mm Craftsman impact socket. It is quite sturdy and 6-sided.
Snap-On makes some 12-sided impact sockets.
