Welcome!


The swing arm has a nut on the one end that takes a special tool.
You can make one by grinding down a socket to have the 4 pins left to fit that nut. (look at the pic and see what size is for the swing arm by matching one of them to the nut. I forget which one it is)
Then the swing arm shaft has to be unscrewed using a 6 sided tool.
(A 5/8 redi rod coupler will work if you don't want to buy the real tool)

Why does it need the coupler?

Why does it need the coupler?

One end goes in the swing arm shaft and a socket on the other to twist the shaft out, and then after, back in.

I guess what i'm sketchy bout is why the other end needs the coupler. Maybe i'd understand if I could go look at my bike lol
