lock nut tools - which ones, how many?
hi there forum-ers. I'm working on a Specialized HotRock kids bike. The crank arms had some wobble. When I tried to loosen the lock ring with my Park tool HCW5, the tool tooth is too big for this lock ring notch. See image. I used a hammer and dull nosed chisel to loosen it. That's not optimal. I checked my LBS they have about 10 lock ring wrenches. What do home mechanics use for odd sized lock ring notches? Can you measure the notch and get a suitable wrench? I don't see measurements on lock ring wrenches. How are you supposed to decide on which one(s) to buy? TIA
