wanted-Lock Nut removal tool for Swing Arm - Page 3 - SV650.org

i'll let you know if i pick one up, or how to make one.
It's annoying as there is little to nothing on the net of how to do this job & the Haynes manual is ****e for explaining it. There's no details on it at all. They explain more in depth on changing brake pads than removing the swing arm.

The locknut your trying to take off is your template. if your going to cut up a socket put it up against it and mark the cut points. I think!

yeah that's my plan if i have to cut one up. Hoping to beg/borrow one from the Suzuki dealership tomorrow, or Mav

If you have one of those crappy rear spindle spanners that comes in your bike tool kit, you could place it on top mark where the lugs should be, drill out the holes and screw in a nut and bolt in each hole, thus giving you a spanner that will fit but might need extending to get enough leverage!

Sure to be more sturdy than a hacked up socket, as spanners and bolts are moulded not drop forged!

The socket I cut and have been using for ten years suggests otherwise.

If you buy one Job, I'm sure it'll do the rounds in the GM. You can lend it out for cups of tea on subsequent ride outs. It may pay for itself in a few years since teas are £1 a throw!

I'll go out to the garage & measure it

Socket external diameter is 40mm & internal 30mm

Looks like I owe you a pint, I'm impressed, you must have a deft touch, or a moulded socket!

Any chance of a pic?
