can anyone tell me what size allen wrench is needed to remove the front axle of a ZX6R..
19, 19, 22 or 24 mm

Hmm, not sure on the 03/04's, on the 00-02's, one side is 17mm, the other is 22.

It is 22mm Just get an axle nut tool from motion pro. It has four sizes on it 17,19,22, and 24mm. and is a 3/8 square drive on both ends. It should run you about $28.

I was in a crunch when I did mine, so I bought a bolt, two nuts, and one locking nut, all 22mm, tightened the nuts and locking nut on the bolt, then used that as a make-shift axle tool. Also, you can use a 22mm Craftsman spark plug socket with, I believe, a 1/2" drive torque wrench...I'm pretty sure it's 1/2"...that's probably the cheapest and easiest way to do it. Or get the axle tool. You won't be able to find a 22mm allen wrench. Trust me.
