VT500 Swingarm Nut Removal Tool

[J6G1Z]

Here is a company that manufactures a castellated tool that will remove the special nut that Honda used to secure the swing-arm.

eBay item number: 301011551066

The Ad states that they don't ship to the USA, but they will if you contact them by e-mail & place the order. The e-mail address is: turbosuzukis@yahoo.co.uk

With the money conversion, the part cost me $35.21. That's better than the $60+ that the Honda dealer wants.

Good luck

I'll pass on it. I've ordered one of Kev's from the UK.

Interesting style of tool. I think the UK version of the tool looks easier to use.

Well my VT500 swingarm nut removal tool arrived yesterday. I was shocked at how quickly it arrived. I placed some other orders on that same day for parts located in the USA & they have yet to arrive. The tool looks real nice! Well machined & strong looking, very solid! It's a specialty tool that I probably won't use very often, but when the time comes that I need it, I'll have it handy & at about half the price of the Honda parts dealer.

Thanks Kev for the nice piece of machine work, great price & fast shipping.

Hey guys .. I tried to follow the links to order this tool, can't seem to find it anywhere.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be much obliged

Looks like he doesn't have anything listed on eBay right now.

I would send a message through eBay to the seller & see if they have any more Ascot tools.

That's what I thought ... but wasn't sure if there was a comparable one that would work. Thanks J


Edit: He just let me know he has some in stock!

[J6G1Z]

Good deal!

I bought one just for the hell of it. Figured I'd need one sooner or later. Sure enough, I had to put it to work & it works great.

I think he prefers to do business without having to pay ebay (I don't blame him) so if anyone needs one of these you can reach him at;

Kev Drake <turbosuzukis@yahoo.co.uk>


Note: I checked with him before posting his address

[Luke]

Wow ... I'm not sure how, but I received it today. That's 6 days (including a weekend) from the U.K. to Ontario, Canada.

Looks strong... and it fits. Can't ask for more than that

I recall being surprised at how quickly mine arrived.

They are a stout little tool.
