Swingarm locking pin

[VFighteR]

Hey Guys - Just need to know what the tool used to remove the swingarm pivot bolt is called? The nut looks like a threaded cross hair with an allen key bit in the center. I have two sizes of these type of bolt on the frame, one for the engine mount as well, so need to buy or borrow one, but need to know what its called. Sorry i know the description is a little lame

You have to remove the lock nut using a similar tool to this. I call it swing arm lock nut removal tool, unsure what they call it in the trade though.

My '92 GSXR has the same size tool for adjusting steering head bearings as well!

its called a castle nut and i know a clever dick that ground down an old socket and that worked out fine

I find a spark plug socket makes a better starting point as it's a lot thinner in the walls so it easier to shape
