i ended up with two of these 'tools' - its essentially a good sized bolt (m16 x 1.5RH). this is the item:

the title at bikebandit says its LH thread, but its not. i ordered this to do an engine swap, USPS lost it for a month and it just showed up. thanks to lzrdbrth, i learned the rear axle bolt is the proper thread and works fine (although you do have to remove the rear axle and support the swingarm). while it was lost, i ordered and received the tool from another vendor...so now i have two of them.
happy to mail this off to anyone who needs one, just pay shipping. i have pictures of the actual item if you'd like me to email them to you.
ahm
