RE: 36MM Wrench
For those of you with short shocks (i.e. <13"), you should be able to use a socket on the axle nut and bolt without removing the muffler. That'll eliminate the need for one of these specialty tools. When I had the stock 12" shock on my SG, the socket fit easily on both ends. Now that I have 12½" Progressives, which drops the axle down further and closer to the mufflers, the clearance was very close. I loosened both rear mounting bolts on each side to allow some movement, and the socket still worked.
Here is a steal on a 36mm socket:

Thats what I wound up doing with my Craftsman torque wrench, but my Snap-on torque wrench says not to use it left handed???

Set the torque wrench like you would to tighten a left hand thread and put the torque wrench on the inside. It works just fine with either of those wrenches. Far from worthless.

RE: 36MM Wrench
If you read the original post, he said the tooldiscounter wrench didn't work either and it is $40. I have both and they both work fine. I used the $19fixed positionone from pit posse on the bolt head side to hold it and the ratchetone from tooldiscounter on the nutside. The ratchet wrench works best on the nut side so it can be positioned with the torque wrench. Either one will work.
