As the title says...can someone advise what size the gigantic nut is for the swingarm? You know the one...castle nut on one end and gigantic nut on the other end by the rear set...it would save me a drive home if anyone can answer..thanks in advance! :D

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:
