Honda Swingarm Tool Dimension Question
Quick question.
This is for a 06 1krr that I'm powdercoating the swingarm and pegs/reasets on.
I have a 32mm 12pt deep dish socket that I plan to chop up to turn into the swingarm tool. I'm going to replicate it, cutting the socket off so it's just a tube and with a plate welded to the side and a socket welded to the plate to mimic the oem tool, complete with ground down castle prongs.
So my question is, what is the exact distance from the center of the 32mm socket to the center of the side socket? Without the right offest the applied torgue will be way off.
Thanks.

I don't think a 32 is large enough.
I know its a very simple tool and I hate buying tools that are so simple, but they are fairly inexpensive. You can get em on ebay for under 20 bucks. I would probably just buy one. Or go to your local dealership and ask one of the mechanics if you can borrow one. Many times, they will lend out their tools. Just keep in mind that they are their own personal tools and they may not lend them out. But its worth checking at the service counter.
If this helps, the tool should be a 5.8X47mm. Part number 07YMA-MCFA100. At least thats whats 04-05 is. They should be the same.

Nah, 32mm is right. The tool doesn't fit around the nut in the typical fashion (which would be the 47) it's castle grooves actually fit into the nut. There are cheap castle nut tools on ebay but they are removal only, you can't torque the castle while holding the allen in the middle with those as they don't have the offset socket like this.
I can make one easy enough in about 10-20 minutes, I have the tools/skills to do so. Just need to know how far the offset is.. The actual honda tool runs around 80 bucks for something I'll prolly end up using once then tossing and have to wait to be shipped out to me regardless. Just hoping someone has one and could measure the distance since I have everything I need to make one of my own right now.

Oh that distance.
You can make it whatever you want. You just have to compensate for the added length to your torque wrench.
Such as, if the torque value is 45 ft lbs, and you make the distance 1 inch. All you have to do is compensate for that distance by adding that one inch to the length of the torque wrench.
So, if your torque wrench in 12 inches long, you would multiply 12 by 45 to get 540. Then, since your length is one inch, you would add that to the 12 giving you 13. So take 540 and divide that by 13 which gives you 41.5. That is your new torque value to shoot for. So, you can make that distance any amount you want, just compensate for it. If you make it 2 inches long, your new value is 540 divided by 14 which would be 38.
