Swingarm socket?

[bitabur]

Where's the best (cheapest) place to get the 4-point special socket tool for removing the swingarm nut?

I've also heard of people making them from a regular socket, is that hard to do? Is it worth the time?

Why not just get a 36mm socket and use a breaker bar or ratchet?

Maybe they're waiting on you to do a search That would be my suggestion

if you have the tools and time you could do your own. Make a mold of the fitting with clay or something the make a template and get to grinding.

I think he's talking about the swingarm pivot nut, no the axle nut. OMSLAW made a set of sockets for removing the engine.

Ah, well at least my post was good for a bump if nothing else

I've got one that was made, but not by me, works great.

You basically need a spanner socket. What is the size of the nut?

I'm glad this thread is up becuase I had some similar questions on regualar maintenance/torquing. There is a lot of torquing that needs to be done on a regular schedule, do you all do it yourselves? I attempted to tackle this and found I had none of the tools, does anyone have a list of what exactly I need to purchase to be able to follow the three or more pages of torque points? Looks like I just found the swingarm socket, but can that same socket be used for the steering stem nut? any other unique tools necessary? I'd hate to have to bring it to the dealer every 4000 miles/yearly for torquing.

boostbysmith.com has the cut sockets, they are cheaper than the o.e. sockets, i spent some time trying to cut a socket up and gave up after it didnt fit quite right. i bought one from schnitz, you could also use a punch if you dont care about malling that lock nut up, i dont recommend it but there are people that do it that way.

Anyone know about the steering stem nut tool, what is it?

32mm normal socket.

I tried to "make" my own, but all I did was make a hot mess.

I found both the 32mm 4 pin spanner to remove the locknut and the 24mm allen hex for the pivot shaft. No more destroying a $20 lock nut with a hammer and punch. LOL

Not exactly "cheap", but a heck of alot easier...

I found when pulling mine apart that i didnt nee that special tool.You still have to loosen the axle since its also threaded.I took the 36mm nut off the left side and used a 24mm hex wrench to turn the axle out.
