removing 250ex swingarm???

[rider250ex]

does anyone know who to remove the swingarm from a 250ex. i know you need a big allan wrench but it looks like you need a 4 prong thing. i dunno. has anyone ever removed one? if so what tools did you need and how did you do it

it's a special tool, but the honda dealer i went to didn't even have it, so it seems like it's hard to find. I have the part number of it somewhere, so i'll find it and get back to you. If you need to get it off quick though, they told me to use a screwdriver and a hammer :)

Ask your dealer what kinda tool you would need.

BTW, why do you want to remove it anyway?

well i got it off. all you need is like a 3/4 in allan wrench. i dunno how big for sure because i just cut the head off of a bit for an air hammer and just used that. and i need to take my swing arm off becasue i snapped it in half. that was actually the second time i snapped it
