The first thing they teach you in trade school is that you use the right tool for the right job, Now that being said , I would use a adjustable wrench as a last choice if I didn't have any other choice for getting the nut off, it might be ok for a pro if they are careful but if a beginner is watching the video they should prob get the right size wrench , I have seen soo many people round off nuts and bolts because they didn't use the tool

@JayShady84 The axle nut is huge, its just about impossible to round it. If you can't do that right (ie tighten the adjustable wrench) then you shouldn't be near a bike :D

just because he used an adjustable crescent wrench doesnt mean hes not a pro.. if you read his bio hes certified in motorcycle mechanics. that means he is a profesional... and it means hes had schooling. tools dont mean anything

LexiBear is right no adjustable wrench easier to round the nut off

Mario - I'm sure you mean well, but please don't give advice on something as critical as adjusting the chain tension until you fully understand the correct procedure yourself. For starters, you need to use the proper tools. Tightening an axle bolt without a torque wrench is asking for serious trouble. If it's too loose the wheel can slip, if it's too tight the bolt can snap. Both scenarios can get you killed. IMHO bike maintenance is best left to the pros.

this video sucks. use a torque wrench you hack. no real tech would ever use a crescent wrench on an axle nut.
warning: learn from another video
