on the swing arm of a 125 theres a nut with 4 slits in it! do you have to have a certain tool for this nut?

It helps if you do have this tool so you can get it to teh correct tightness, otherwise you may have it vibrate loose and come off.

im ordering the bolt and tool 2moz from my dealer

**EDIT**

The nut with 4 slits in it is a locking nut and needs to be tightened to 35Nm
