I need to true my Campagnolo Nucleon wheel, but don't have the Campy tool. In lieu of finding one, does anyone know if there is a nut driver small enough to do the job? If so, what size do I need?

Thanks and Regards,
Tom

you don't need to pay through the nose for the Campy tool. I got a hex nut driver from a hardware store. I can't remember whether it was 5mm or 5.5mm, but you could just bring the wheel in.

Thanks - I just discovered that Park makes a 3-way nipple tool (SW-15) that should work, too.

You beat me to it.

The PArk tool works just fine.

Be sure you get the 3-way for wheels and not the standard 3-way nut driver. The wheel tool has thinner walls on the sockets. The other one won't fit.

It's funny - I saw one of 'em in a store a while back and wondered, "Why the heck are those sockets so small?!?" I wish I'd have bought it.
