GEEZR Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 12mm box wrench. the torque is not hard to judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybluerider Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBD Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawarriorman Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 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. Just put it on at a right angle to the wrench, otherwise your torque won't be right.

RBD Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited September 4, 2006 by RBD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
