Don't mean to throw a socket (erm, spanner) in the works, but doesn't it depend on waht tpe of swing arm you have? Or are the later models the same nut size?

Usually just grab whatever socket fits,would'nt have a clue what size it was,so i looked it up

That was me

Didn't want to duplicate the (mis)information

The manual says 30mm... but probably refers to the thread of the axle not the socket you require. Oops.

If it's any consolation Logyk, I have a titanium axle nut supplied by a well known Tasty supplier which, when I came to fit it last weekend turned out to be totally the wrong size.
