If you're considering accessing the headstock bearings of a 900 for service or replacement, you'll need a correctly fitting socket to undo and correctly retorque the castle nut on the top yoke. I bought one and it did the job fantastically. Stainless steel and it'll take a 1/2 '' drive wrench or torque wrench. Only used once. cost me £26 but make me an offer postage inclusive.

since the nut is alloy the castellated socket does a better job usually.
