Hello. New too site. Looks really guys. I think its well put together. Anyways ive been driving and building quads for awahile but ive come to a brink wall. I had bad rollover going high speeds on a river. The quad came out not too bad. ive fixed it next too new. Just one part. My swingarm barrings went loose and ive got into repairing. Theres a locking nut one side of the arm. with 4 points. I cant find one anywhere. How did you guys get around it. If you did where can i find it and what its called. If your anything like me, i make my own tools through metal fab. This one would be tougth. Any idea?

 

What year is the bike?
I was going to try to find it on Suzuki OEM - Cheap Cycle Parts

Edit****************
Was looking, this its called the pivot nut.

Not sure if thats your year and model, you'll have to look into it more but it has a diagram there and they're all pretty simialar (from the ones I looked at).

 

Looks simular. Its on the other side. Only one side has it. Any ideas how to get it off? Or do they do that so i have to bring it in to suzuki?

 

oh sorry. 2006 vinson 500 f

 

OEM Parts Suzuki Vinson 4WD (LT-A500F) 2006 REAR SWINGINGARM - Cheap Cycle Parts

Lock Nut Wrench or Spindle Nut Wrench is the wrench your looking for.

 

SOoooooo i made my part with cuting a 1 1/8 socket. I CAN NOT GET THIS NUT LOOSE!!!! My tool works but not 100%. But still a can give it good power. So my q is, Is this nut back words. like not righty tighty. More like righty lossey lol. I just need too know witch way to go. THIS NUT WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME!!!!!!> Thanks for all the help and hope you can help me more.


PS> LOCKING NUTS SUCK!!>

 

I doubt it is backward threaded, I havent come across anything on a quad that is (dont quote me). You could try getting some penetrating oil/spray or some kind of spray thatll help lose it up. I dont know lol.

Maybe try angling a flat head screw driver in hiting the screw driver with a hammer and see if you can rotate it.

Hell can you get a dremmel in there and cut it? lol.

 

i would love to cut it. But thats not going to happen. lol. I just need to talk to someone whos done it. thanks for help
