Except for the flat, it looks like a bicycle freewheel removal tool........ (Message edited by debueller on August 01, 2010) |

Nope. Here's a clue. It's for the most PITA nut mentioned here in the last year. (Message edited by tootal on August 01, 2010) |

ECM retaining nut. ECM retaining nut is definitely the most discussed since I've been on badweb. How about a nut buried in the swingarm? |

Hugh, you're a genius!! Actually Paul56 and Jessemc got it right. That bastard was not going to beat me!!! When I put on my kit I had reservations about using the new screw but followed directions like a good little boy, why I don't know, I usually don't! Well the new screw had dried loctite on it and that damn nut was punched in the side to tighten the threads making it a lock nut. Bad combination for that location. I now have a stainless screw with a nylock nut and the tool was handy putting that together also. Moral of the story: Technology always wins!! |

OK. I have had experience with that nut in the past but I don't understand how the tool is used. Please explain how it's used. |

The plastic pan has a hex cast into it that covers most of the nut. There are only two flats that can be gotten to. If you try a socket the plastic hex won't allow you to put the socket on. This tool just has two ears that fit on the nut to hold it so you can loosen the screw from above. The flat side goes up against the pan where there is no room for a round socket.
