Undo the spindle and pull the wheel back a dab, then the nut won't be under any tension - you'll probably be able to undo it with your fingers, (unless the thread is goosed too).

It's an M8 nut and nothing special, (well, the original is flanged, but any nut that fits will do), so any hardware or DIY shop or similar.

Yes, Suzuki probably give it a number, (although it may be supplied part of the adjuster assembly), but it's just a nut.
