I undid mine with a phosphor-bronze (try brass) drift no marks and it came of easily. Hope it helps

Well the grinding disk and dremel clean up worked a treat - the Draper socket is now a perfect fit four-peg driver. It took a bit of a tug (my socket driver is pretty short) but it worked fine.

Another silly question though - how do you chaps keep your bike upright while you take the swinger out? I can't use the rear padock stand, obviously...

I think suspending it from a garage roof beam or similiar (or a-frame ladder) is probably the most viable method. If you have rigid footpegs, then axle stands under them would work, or some people support the bike under the rear subframe with a big chunk of wood over whatever they have around. If you have an Abba or NWS stand you could bodge something to support the bike from the footrest brackets I think... Though that could be pretty dodgy.

If I ever put my nice clean spare on to replace my battlescarred original, I'll do the roof beam thing I think.
