In need of special wrench

[GEEZR]

OK, I have the torque wrench and I'd like to tighten the cylinder base nuts to 20 ft/lbs , and I'm having a hell of a time getting a socket in those tight quarters. Especially the 2 inner ones under the exhaust ports. Does anyone know of a special wrench that fits in there?

I'm not exactly ready to go to the yamaha dealer and buy one (if they do have such a tool) They'd prolly ask $400 bills for one. thanks for any advice. :ermm:

12mm box wrench. the torque is not hard to judge.

This is called a crows foot wrench they are availiable from sears and most other tool stores. You should be able to use it in there on your torque wrench.

GEEZR,

 

Motion Pro has a torque wrench adaptor #00134 (use with your 3/8 drive torque wrench). It fits both 12 mm and 14 mm and retails for about $16.70

Just put it on at a right angle to the wrench, otherwise your torque won't be right.

I like the Motion Pro hex design much better than an open-ended idea. In either case using the adaptor at 90* with your torque wrench, makes for a direct reading.
