HI guys, have got a small problem and was wondering if im missing anything.

I took the swimgarm of my 2008 XT R model to grease it up, all done, put back on.

Now the problem is when ive put the swing arm bolt through and then go to tighten the nut on the left hand side...I cant tighten it. i cant get the socket in the frame hole. Does that nut sit out past the frame?.. have I placed the bolt in properly?

Am i missing a piece . i know it takes a 22mm socket, but it wont go in in the hole of the frame..and for the life of me, don't know how the hell i got it off.

Ive looked at the diagram in manual, and it just has the bolt and then the washer and screw...am i missing a part of some sort?

this has got to be simple..any tips on this or the best way..its just one of those small things that is doing my head in...

any help wld be appreciated...

Have you put the bolt in from the wrong side??

Yes you put it from right side the axle abd the nut mounts on the left side. Make sure that the axle is in the right position to be self locked look after that. It had to be fixed between two edge otherwise you will not be able to mount the nut.

ill have a look at that but yes, the bolt is coming in from the right hand side and the nut is on the left hand side (gear lever side)

prob bloody simple..let u know, cheers

Nup.

The bolt is thru , but i cant get the nut to tighten up as i cant get the 22mm socket in the hole on the frame, its to small.
Does the bolt head have a set pattern so it slots in to the side of the frame and sits nicely?

got me ******ed and so it wld seem a simple task...

Never had problem with that, is it possible to take a mobile photo.?

ill have a go at the weekend and post a pic if it doesn't help
thanks

all good...figure it out..got it fixed in my head that i was to use a 22mm socket to put nut on..it didn't fit in the hole in the frame..then i realized 2 things , 1 i was looking at an instruction from a tenere..thaought it was the same and they use a 22mm socket. so the 22 mm nut i was using was for the dog bones..swapped them around and all fixed..then while at it..added Kev suspension inserts..very good!..
