Whats the tool called to remove this locking castlenut thingy, and where do I get one?
The inner is about 26mm across the bolt threads, and inside the outer bit is about 37mm.
Many thanks,
Steve
Double shot!!

A screwdriver and a rubber mallet should do it.
on the up
Doesn't it undo using a large allen key in the middle?
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Nah its in a bit tighter than that. I bashed it with the little sledge and a drift. It's stuck solid as a cock. I expect it's been tightened to about 60NM. The bike shop just puts the big rattle gun up it and RAT-TAT-TAT-ZOWWW, its off, but I don't got one of them.Originally Posted by Maha
Yeah, 12mm one. I need a half-inch drive one of those too. Anyone know where from?

parting of the sensory
The only other option (than buying the factory tool) is to buy a socket of the right size, then butcher it with various cutting, grinding and filing implements, so it fits the doofer (technical term).
Or borrow/steal one from someone that has one.
As for the allen key, I bought a set of [some common tool brand I can't recall the name of] allen key sockets from...hmmm... Repco?
I also have three T-handle ones that came from Denmark (surplus tools for a $250k piece of lab equipment - we had many of these, each with a very nice toolkit).
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
Double shot!!
yer I've got some little 3/8" drive repco ones. I'll go see if they have any badass 1/2" drive 12mm ones that I can put a big muthahfucken bar on. An impact one would be the shizo - I won't break that.

If you are the man like me, you could take some 4340, a lathe and a mill and make a tool that fits perfectly and doesn't look half ass..
Failing that, allen key and some pipe ?

Big tool required.

Umm ok here is an idea get a bolt with the right size head to fit into the head, ie upside down, take 2 or 3 nuts and some locktite, lock the nuts together and there you have a special tool easily made and dam cheap too.
Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

Unexpected Spanish inquisition
I'd just make one out of an old socket of the correct diameter, bit of work with the grinder should do the trick.
The attached pic is a specialist tool for Suzuki's, but very similar and you can see that it wouldn't be too hard to make your own.
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes
Double shot!!
Yeah this is true. Thats what I'll do I reckon. I got lots of old socket sets.
Thanks dood!
