Having realised despite owning half of machine mart (!),I didn't have anything to undo the wheel spindle..
So I bought one of these. The end hex's are removable (to reveal a 3/8" drive hole), but it easily fits in the spindle with them on.
£17.99 on fleabay.

That would be handy for the roadside toolkit as well. I try to carry just enough to do very basic repairs, including removing both wheels (worst case scenario).

This front wheel spindle key is available from M&P, http://www.mandp.co.uk/default/catalogs ... /?q=539432
Halfords (GTmoto) also do one, http://www.halfords.com/motoring/motorc ... pindle-key the ends are open to fit a 3/8" drive wrench.
Amazon do a Laser one too, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Laser-3933-Mot ... B003AMVP6I
All these keys fit a 2012 TC, not sure about a 2014 LC.

Check size for LC, the TC is 22mm.

That's useful to know - although if I break down I'm much more likely to be picking up the phone than getting out spanners. But it's good to know I could if I had to.
