I have the standard Bahco 1/4 drive set that someone here recommended a great little set.
Bahco/SO/Blue Point group appear to have cornered the market. 4

I only have one that I bought for a particular use - flank drive ring spanner they avoid rounding off bolt heads.
I would like a set but price is daft money - this is a used set! .https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135029750512?itmmeta=01HW7PEYR3SW9R5QY1RJ5Y9E1Y&hash=item1f70667af0:g:yigAAOSwtaxl72oo&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0LTuhXps%2FQn%2BbiSNiXJ0hUWnBSEYr2K7Lxk%2BcrhHN2qBAJb4rYBB9mcRiUWa8GgumqhozgP7KaziEG2slFzirrQWDwfDQZO1jTgmb958CcRaLmLWeUUokCrQqRqgaItU83EiOw0rFsx7J2fe2gUI4Tp5Csn1D0lWhCCuoboXaI%2FpjJ%2FEpjFljNswFpQ6pLrbUzSjJtPZhKlBJoyUgutom2BQsGolB%2FHvVL%2FpuVGA%2FLhg7UPQCe4egLPQ6R6uNv%2FDWn5%2FFHIK92TFiNclBHrZRsI%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5bsu_bhYw 7

That's one theory out of the window, the rear wheel is factory fitted.
Looks like the nut is on the left in the packing case photo though resolution is poor on my phone. 8

When they arrive in a packing case is the rear wheel on place?
If not it might be down to the PDI assembly. Can't see it makes any difference TBH.🤔🤔🤔 9

Be interesting to see how you get on with it - looks great bit of kit - how did I ever manage without one in the past?
Please let us know how effective it is Mike when it arrives and you do the magic. 10

Ted, my picture shows it on the right hand side. The dowloadable Shop Manual supports us Lefties. The 500 is also shown in manuals as a left side nut fitting as does Mr Haynes. 11

You are not alone my 400 has the nut on the left hand side.
In the Honda Parts List it is shown with the nut on the left hand side. Might be it's been shifted to the right side so the silencer is not in the way. 12

The mix of Bryan & Nigels advice should work if you use a T bar rather than using a ratchet on the socket you can apply the force more evenly a third hand might help with the filer housing whilst you use the T bar - best of luck.

Might be the bidders saw it in the flesh and the photos were very flattering.
Auction prices are sometimes about extremes in either direction rather than true value especially as there was no reserve set and the family just wanted to move it on quickly. This 550 only fetched £1000 - I'ne no idea if this was cheap or is that all they fetch unrestored. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256481193937 |
