Re: wanted-Lock Nut removal tool for Swing Arm
You don't cut the whole socket, simply cut the prongs into/out of it. Sockets are strong enough to take it and will have the strength to undo the initial tightness of the nut

Re: wanted-Lock Nut removal tool for Swing Arm
i hate to say it, but it is recommended in the Haynes Manual!!!! It's only 4mm off the end and they are chromed too so should be stronger than normal. Will be wearing some padded gloves when first trying to turn it

Re: wanted-Lock Nut removal tool for Swing Arm
Try posting in Bike Issues or similar there has to be another member with one!
Also chrome doesn't make sockets stronger, it's there to help prevent tarnishing & corrosion, I've got and old set of impact drivers you could try it with but I still think cutting into even them will make them less than useless! |

Mav, what's the size of the socket. Maybe worth a try!
