On trying to remove wheel for balancing, spotted my rear axle chain adjuster is cracked through on right side  :crybaby2:
Got the bike recently, and axle nut is way overtightened, suspect this is the reason for the crack.

According to parts listing, axle and left chain adjuster are one unit, and cost R677.56 from KTM  :eek:

Anyone have a spare one lying around?
Thoughts on getting it machined out of EN18/25? Or am I wasting my time given the KTM price?
