Had 10 minutes to kill today and whipped up a castle nut socket for the swingarm pivot.
Started off with a piece of scrap steel, turned it down to fit and bored out the center...

Slapped it in the mill and went to town on it...

Milled a couple of wrench flats onto the other end and did a test fit. Perfect!

Not pretty, but it'll get it apart. Need to get some hex steel stock and make a better one. The hex will allow me to use a socket on it and a torque wrench.
