dodge7d Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Where would I buy a Swingarm Pivot Tool for the XX? Anybody got one for sale? Can anything else be used safely? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 How well do you know your local Honda shop? Maybe ask them to borrow one or rent it :idea: Otherwise, I believe Tim has done this... Tim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I've got one, ordered it from my local dealer. Others have reported good results with notching/grinding an appropriately sized socket to fit the castling on the nut. It'd be impossible to torque according to the manual with the homemade version, but I bet it's a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matey_peeps Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 i think the haynes manual mentions cutting/grinding a 22mm socket. properly done, there'd be no reason you couldn't achieve accurate torque values with this pennytech tool.

Redbird Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 The Honda tool allows you to hold the "pivot bolt" while torqing the lock nut, as the factory manual suggests. Without the tool, there is no way to do this. You can still torque the lock nut, but not independant of the pivot nut. Splitting hairs, I know, but that's what the manual says to do, and you can't do it without the tool. I believe a member here had chain slack/alignment issues that were traced back to an improperly torqued swingarm bolt, but can't remember for sure. Either way is probably fine, as long as you know you're cutting corners a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack82097 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I believe a member here had chain slack/alignment issues that were traced back to an improperly torqued swingarm bolt, but can't remember for sure. Either way is probably fine, as long as you know you're cutting corners a bit. That would be me and my swingarm bolt. Once torqued properly using the tool, problem went away.
