If you're talking about the big chrome nut in the middle, 22mm should get that off. Underneath you will find two gear-like locking nuts. You can use a channel lock to get them off, or mikesxs sells a ring wrench that fits 'em perfect - Mikes XS Part #35-3005I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

Kermit - A flat-bladed screwdriver and a hammer will do it - like what garth was saying. They shouldn't be on there too tight. I think the torque spec is only about 7ftlbs. Just put the tip in one of the slots on the side closest to the front and tap it a little - top nut first.I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

I thought spanner was Brit speak for wrench... Anyway I use a socket and a breaker bar if it's stuck but most of the time a ratchet is enough. I've never chewed one up to where it had to be replaced.

A Spanner is.. what in the US is called an Open End Wrench
A Wrench is... what the Brits call a Ring Spanner
At least so I have been told

These things, right?

McMaster calls them spanner wrenches but back 'ome we called them peg wrenches.
BTW you need two of them to keep the steering head bearing adjustment from shifting as you lock the peg nuts together.
Some common North American tool names followed by the English equivalent:-
wrench = spanner
Box-end wrench = ring spanner
Vise-grip = Mole wrench
Crescent wrench = adjustable spanner.
Pipe wrench = Stilson
And to add to the richness of the English language, in Scotland Spanner = KeyFred Hill, S'toon
