I recently saw a tool that is used to hold the rear axle so it doesn't rotate forward while torqueing down the axle nut. It mounts on the axle nut (left side) and has a threaded bolt on it that rests on the top of the swing arm and keeps the axle from rotating and loosening the belt while the nut on the right side is torqued down.
I can't find the place where I saw it and I don't know the name of it.
Anybody else seen this and can give me a link?

Another over priced tool that you can do without...
I should have stuck with tool & die work.

Got it. Thanks guys.

 

A while back I found a couple of 36 boxend wrenches that are the cats meow for working the rear axle.No need to move a thing reach in behind saddle bags and muffler and do your thing.One wrench holds the axle the other tightens the nut.Paid very little for them,sorry no details.

 

Well, KAY, then.

Take 2 pieces o' scrap wood, that aint never been nailed tagether afore, nail 'em tagether,
and someone will buy it.

And all this time, been usin' box ends, like Dog. How toopid, o' us.

 

I may have a need for non-previously nailed 2x4s, what's yer price gonna be? and will they come with option for powder coat/chrome version? Can't see havin em around if I can't impress my friends... LMAO!

 

Hey, but then I could go out and buy some equipment for a machine shop complete with MIG welding and make my own along with a few other odds and ends of tools. 8-)
