Single side swinging arms

[Drumnagorrach]

What special tools are needed for the S2r's re the single sided swinging arm ?

[slob]

c-spanner for chain adjustment, suitable paddock stand.
big torque wrench and socket.

[Drumnagorrach]

What size socket? How many torques ?

[squarehead]

156 n/m & 176 n/m for the wheel nuts, it's a fair heft! (1/2 drive long torque wrench) The tool is 41 / 46mm double sided made from aluminium commonly.

Aside from the big C spanner (esssential for chain adjustment 33n/m at the bolts) you'll need a stout pair of circlip pliers, with a wide opening, to remove the brake hanger if you want to grease the eccentric and remove the rear brake line.

Thanks , is the 41/46 a special tool or will two sockets do ?

Two sockets will be fine, the aluminium tool is promoted by Oberon for example as having the ability to fail if overloaded. Can't see the need myself unless you are a ham fisted ex Olympic powerlifter from Eastern Europe....

The sockets will need to fit nicely as it's a lot of force going through you if it slips. It's more technique than anything.
