ive been trying to get the swingarm pivot bolts out of my 97 250 recon and i cant get the lock nut off on the right side. you have to have a special wrench for it and everyone says to build one out of a socket . I can do that but i dont know the measurements to cut the 4 notches, or how to measure it becuase its recessed in the frame. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help

I have a caliper but i cant get into the nut because its recessed into the frame, so thats why i was asking how wide do the notches need to be.

there are calipers that have a measuring tool that will reach into recesses.
