clutch nut socket from eBay...

Will that fit for the clutch on an nc30? Would rather buy that than spend 40 quid on the Honda one..

Cheers

why dont you ask the seller selling the product?

I did a search for clutch nut socket size and the FIRST result was to my post where I put the sizes up of the proper Honda socket.

That one in the auction looks a little small but seller will probably know.

I messaged the seller the day before posting this and still have heard nothing... Plus it seems like they are just selling it, not as a bike specialist so get the feeling they probably wouldn't know bike specific

Thanks for the link, did look, obviously being a bit blind...

Think I'll just have to buy the Honda one, at least I know it'll work and be decent...

Thanks for the reply neo

Be careful of the ebay ones, they're good enough quality but I bought the swingarm one expecting it to do the clutch nut too but the castellations weren't deep enough to do the clutch.

I seem to recall from looking the past that the above seller does an individual CNCd socket for the clutch, engine and swingarm. In addition, they also do the tool with the offset drive for the swingarm pivot that Honda superceded with a more conventional looking socket. of course, looks are one things, function are another. But with over 12000 feedback rating and nothing in the negative or neutral column for the past year, you have to think they are pretty good.

They are different sizes thats why, the honda one is double sided as you wil see if you look at the link to my original post where I have a picture of it.

I had a lad in our workshops grind an old socket with an angle grinder pennies job done - I guess it was made easy as i had bought a new clutch nut so he could match with correct socket size to start from.

Were theres a will theres a way.
