    There are special spanner wrenches for those however, a brass/bronze drift and a small will have it off just as quick. If you don't have drift (punch) you can use a piece of hardwood. Pine or other softwood will not cut it, usually. Hope this helps. Good luck.

    thanks, that nut looks just like one for a yamaha sport bike swing arm bolt but i dont want to spend over $30 for a socket that doesnt fit. might give the hard wood a shot if i can find a spanner that works.

    a swing arm clamp bolt from my stock ltr 450 swinger has a square end that fits great in the boxed groove. few taps with a dead blow and it was free. bearing at the bottom was dry so cleaned it out then re packed it. the bearing on the top with the steel balls was clean but the were free with nothing holding them??? is that how it is suppose to be? cleaned them out then re packed them too.
