I need to revise my method for the wooden block.
I have found it to be tons easier by using a 2" long 10mm socket that I wedge between the swingarm axle and the gear tooth. It snugs way tighter than the wood block. I figured this out when I did my belt drive and cound not wedge the wood against the swingarm anymore because I took it out before the front sprocket. I just slipped thye axle and the bushing back in and wedged there. Works great and you can torque to your heart's content.
