what is the nut called that tightens your chain on a 1985 atc350x bearing carrier

[Shep1970]

Um, hmmm- like what my finger is pointing at? It’s part of the bearing carrier itself.
(Not a 350x swingarm) but there very similar in style.

hey i wasnt arguing with you i was asking have you ever seen a 1985 350x because the 86 uses the pry method it has holes in it and the 85 uses the wrench method sorry for the confussion

The carrier is a one piece cast part- just be sure to get the correct yr for a replacement, there’s aftermarket ones I’ve seen but you’ll need to investigate if there’s any better/worse brands to buy.
It’s just been a long couple days/ I probably shouldn’t have responded at all.
There’s a good group of guys here-really

I own both and use a brass punch and some gentle tapping on both.
