When I didn't want to spend buku $$$ on the right hex for working on gixxers I found a bolt with the same size head and double nutted the other end... stick the head end in and put a wrench on the inner nut... voila! $6 special service tool!!!

Tried the spark plug socket diddn't fit mine. So I took an old hammer to the grinding wheel and made my own hex wrench.

done that, but that only works if the person who put it on did so correctly, as in not too tight... axle's are only supposed to be tightened down a little, the pinchbolts are what hold it in place... some people think axle's need to be torqued down super tight

done that back when GSXR changed to that type front axle in '02 or '03
