What is the size of the Rear Axle nut?
 

I am trying to tighten my chain but i dont have a big enough socket. What size socket do i need to loosen the rear axle nut? This is on a 2003 SV650s. Thanks.

There should be a spanner in the SV's toolkit for this. You'll need to find a pole of some sort to put over the end to give you the leverage. Otherwise a breaker bar and (at least for the pre 2003 SV) a socket that's 22mm.

on 2003 and up its gotta be bigger than 22mm. I have a 22mm socket and it is too small.

24mm :wink:

damnit, i just bought a 23 mm one. 24 mm eh? Thanks.
