OK if anyone is still up (it's only 330pm here :D ) I'm confused elrikos...do you mean the axle nut? Beacuse I'm talking about the where the swingarm bolts through the frame right by the counter shaft sprocket and 46mm seems a bit too large for that but just right for the axle.

Never made it to the store in the end but I had a look at the nut last night and it looks closer to a 27mm? If anyone can check again to see what size socket I need that would be very helpful :scared:
