swingarm special tool

[mtlmn57]

Does anyone know where I can get the special tool to remove the swingarm nuts? The manual shows a specialty tool for the left side.

This link may give you an idea to make it by yourself.

I'm told this tool (meant for bicycles) fits, but I haven't tried it: https://www.amazon.com/Park-Tool-Freewh ... ingdocs-20

Did either of the suggestions work?

That is the tool I used for my 84' GL1200 swingarm.

don't buy the tool. all you need is a hacksaw and a Dremel. I just did it. see the link above that shows how to make the tool from a socket. Now... How far do I run the left side allen bolt in before tightening the Castle lock nut?

Here's the torque values:

Swingarm right pivot bolt: 72 ft-lb
Swingarm left pivot bolt: 14 ft-lb
Swingarm left lock castle nut: 72 ft-lb

Thanks wingadmin. Yesterday when I was cranking on it. It didn't seem to be tightening. just like there was no end. That's when I stopped and checked the play. The play was tight but could now feel not as smooth. so I backed it of. that when the castle nut fell off. Like an Idiot. I didn't take a pic before I started messin with it. Now I'm just not sure if it needs to be at a certain depth or just to 14 ft.pds. I made a castle nut driver from a link earlier. came out pretty nice

VICTORY!!!! 72-14-72 PLAY IS GONE. ALL IS TIGHT AND RITE. Wheel spinning true. let the re-assembly commence. (continue)
Thanks AGAIN Wingadmin. Sorry about the BRAIN FART. The ft-pnd numbers are the depth. I think I had to go a little lighter. My torque bar don't go to 14. I got it close and found the HAPPY PLACE for it after tightening the lock bolt. (mY FABRACATED NUT DRIVER worked like a champ) It's all good. However... I will be paying close attention when I start riding again. May end up putting more on it. But next time. I'm going to lift the bags instead of removing all of them. I'm going to set up a full time pully system in "THE BAT CAVE" Tune in Next week. SAME BAT TIME-SAME BAT PLACE.. lol (I'm 57 years old)
