This is what I did. Got my swing arm off and back on no problem.

Suzuki dealer refused point blank to order me the genuine article and rather stipidly I didn't consider looking on e-bay for properly machined ones (they're not expensive!). So several Dremmel hours later I had my own from a spare socket. If a ham fisted accountant can do it anyone can.

If you want a borrow come and get it.

Possibly, I can cut a socket into an SV dismantling tool before breakfast, but 'puters can be a bit of a challenge.

Watch this space, a bit.

Perhaps it because we don't try to make the cuts with an sa80 at 100metres.

You say didn't need but he still had play in the wheel, that can't be good for handling.
