Excellent: concise and clear...helped me get the job done for this R1250RT, and saved me $$ and a week or two waiting for the BMW dealer to fit me into their schedule. I love my dealer, but always happy when I can do the job myself. Thanks for the coaching!
Excellent....I had no idea that the muffler would have to come off, I assumed the tire removal was something that could be done on the road side with just one tool to remove the wheel!
@ralaurenzi, Thanks for your comment. You are correct that it’s metric! However, given this application, I found that a half inch socket fit closer to spec on the nut than a 13mm socket which had a lot more play. To all who watch the video, use your own discretion as to which works best for you application. Cheers!

Perfect! Thank you. This was exactly what I needed to get the job done. You rock!
@Michaeldeandargie, I’m so glad it worked out well for you. I tried to make it straightforward. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you, took the guesswork out of the job! I appreciate you, sir.
@mattmartin6486, I hope it help. I just trying to spread the knowledge. We don’t know what we don’t know!
Cheers!
BMW DOES NOT HAVE A 1/2" nut ANYWHERE on the bike. It is 100% metric. That proper size is 13mm.

1/2 worked like a charm. I also raised a metric eyebrow but the imperial did the job perfectly.
