NC30 Swingarm Removal Castle Nut Socket - Budget Alternative
Hello fellow 400GBers,
I recently needed to remove a swingarm, and was a bit disappointed at the price of the special Honda castle nut socket required to remove the locking nut.
After finding a very helpful diagram of the sizing of the Honda tool (it was from a thread on here but I can't remember who uploaded it!) I found an alternative tool with the same size on Aliexpress.
The description was: Scooter Moped QUAD ATV 152QMI 157QMJ GY6 125 GY6 150 Starter Clutch Nut Removal Tool
Here's a URL for the item I bought: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1371106212.html
The pegs on it are slightly smaller than the sockets on the NC30 swingarm castle nut, but it works fine at a fraction of the cost of the Honda tool.
The machining/casting is a bit rough, and my 1/2 inch torque wrench requires a little bit of persuasion to fit in it, but all up I think it's great value at $10 NZD.
