Hello, I recently bought a used X-cell 60 in mint condition and I want to check the bearings in the engine but I can't figure out what size socket I need to remove the nut. The fan hole won't allow me to use a thin wall socket like a 13mm, the 12mm socket will fit in the fan hole but it's the wrong socket size, it needs to be a larger size socket it seems because it doesnt fit around the nut.

what do you guys use for it?

I am using a 12 mm socket with no problem at all, I guess we have the same type of machine, mine is YS 61st, and it is fit with 12 mm socket.
My problem is with the plactic fam where I should drill a hole and screwed the fan to the wheel, to keep the fan in place. It could be the fan we have different type?

Mine is 12mm also I had to push the socket down in cause the casting was tight on it. Use a little light oil on it or some fuel and push it with your finger and don't get carried away or you'll break something. If the socket won't come out be careful and use a punch or something to tap the socket out of the fan but I haven't had it stick yet.
