You will need metric box end wrenches to loosen the nuts on the front and rear axles. You will then need either a 8,9, or 10mm box end wrench to loosen the pinch bolt holding the brake cable on the brake caliper so that the calipers can open to allow the tire to pass. The brakes will have to be re adjusted when you re assemble the bike. This may take you a half hour or more since you seem to have no knowledge of bike mechanics. It will take even longer to put the bike back together when you get back home. Unless you are getting this bike for less than $25, it isn't worth it, the thing sells for about $70 brand new. Once you factor in the fuel to drive the 28 mile round trip the thing may cost you far more than the bike is worth. This is a really, really poor quality bike
