I just picked up a deepwell 32mm 12pt socket and it's too small. I read the various history on the sizes of nuts needing to come off so as to remove the rear case, did I miss something?


UPDATE: Helps if I wear my reading glasses....geez! Needed a 36mm, not 32. Oh well... ;D

   I would get a six point on something that big, less chance of it slipping. I like six point on everything anyway.
1970 CB750JDM, 1975 GL1000, 1979 GL1000 semi cafe, 1979 CBX, 1995 GL1500 SE, 2008 GL1800 trike. Several more not running yet.

Not on this nut, it's multifaceted and needs a 12pt. I'm afraid a 6pt would ruin the high spots on the nut, it's not a regular hex head type.

in the past, I have seen the required socket to be 32mm. Obviously an error but adds to the confusion.
