Looks like I need a bloody big hex alan key to unscrew the front axle on the R3T. It's about 19mm across the flats.

Would this be a standard tool or something special? And where would I get one?

Thanks

It's a standard Allen key size for many front axles. Bike dealers sell them for ~£12. Army surplus stores for about ~£2.
