    Will be replacing rear wheel/sprocket bearings as one has completely failed... So I thought I might have a look at replacing the swing arm ones too if necessary...

    Problem is I've tried two 24mm drive sockets and neither of them fit in the circular frame where the bolt is located. Is there a particular type of socket that will fit into the frame, or am I somehow mistaken in the size?

    Cheers!

    It's 22mm.

    Thanks I appreciate it.

    Our parts manual lists "M16x1,5" for both the wheel axle nut and the swing arm nut so thought it was the same... :rolleyes:

    No worries. I think the bolt shank is an M16 if I remember correctly, but it uses a 22mm head instead of a 24mm like on the axle nut.
