Re: swingarm and other castle nut tool?
I made one out of an old 22mm socket for the engine mounts and 25mm for the swingarm. Used a marker to get the correct dimensions, put the socket in the bench vise, and used a cut off wheel (grinder) to trim out the parts in between. Worked fine getting them off, we'll see how they work putting them on when the bolts have to be torqued down.
