For those in need, just found this:

i got mine from halfords - think it was 7 quid??

just a thought but :)

Tried Halfords - nothing on their web-site or in store (don't need one, but thought I'd ask while I was there)

The one on the link looks like an impact socket - probably OTT for our needs, and yes, a bit pricey, but if someone needs one PDQ . . .

Also came across this (yes, I've had such a busy Sunday afternoon). Looks to be better value?

Both these options are cheaper then a decent quality 22 mm. hex key, which you'd have to butcher anyway

Not even sure you need one of these.

Once the spindle clamp bolts are undone the spindle pushes out easy.

Yeah this has had me very confused too - maybe the Futurama has different spindles - the Falco certainly doesn't use hex keys

Now pay attention
Nothing to do with spindles - s/s swinging arm

It's for undoing the rear wheel retaining nut - No. 10 on the drawing. There's a stubby bit of 22 mm hex bar in the toolkit, but they seem to have a habit of getting lost as Futuras change hands.

(still not sure if that's the right emoticon)

I see, my apologies for being futurilliterate.

Might be worth grabbing a 14mm one at the same time for the steering top clamp nut while you're at it.

I thought it would be something Futura-specific ...... but what the f### was Aladinsaneuk on about

Good point

well - i like to keep a set of tools - and i did pick one of these up to use on the falco - but not as a spindle....
