Just got a used custom, and i need to change the front inner tube. It's a profile mini ss front hub with a peg. I cant loosen the hub because the it has a allen bolt in the peg. How can i get it off with out having to buy http://www.danscomp.com/products-TOOLS/811109/Dans_Comp_Street_Ratchet__and__Socket_Set.html#

Try a socket piece that has an allen head. Those things are great.

and once you get it off you should look into buying the 17mm headed bolt for profile hubs

My longest allen wrench wont reach and i don't really have any money to spend on a socket piece.

Edited Date/Time:
Go to a auto body shop and ask them to take it off. Most places are good about that. The one up the road lets me use the compressor. Don't spend $30 for profile bolts. That's rediculous. Get bolts from a hardware store. Grade 8 3/8x16tpi
I'm on the vital legit list!
