From what it sounds like everyone is using maybe it is time I make a batch of the proper dog type spanners. The "hook type are a bit better than the Chanellock/pipe wrench/hammer chisel hackersaw etc. The dog type spanner uses 2 flat dog keys 180 degrees apart to give a more tangental drive without crushing the nut as the others do. I made a similar tool for Tom Bowes to use on his fork tubes and have been thinking of making a batch of them too. Let me know how much interest there is,the price will be reasonable .
PS , Permatex high temp anti sieze compound is the best thing to use on the threads, If threads are worn, a few layers of Teflon pipe tape wrapped CLOCKWISE from the end of the nut can buy you a lot of time. It takes up extra clearance and cushions the threads from further wear.

It's like a set of 3 wee, not so wee and friggin huge. they have a hinge in the middle so that they can fit a variety of diameters, the hook is 1/8-1/4" wide as opposed to the shock adjustors 16 guage pressed steel. AND they have a neoprene handle. I wrapped mine ina towel and stuck it in my tool box. I checked my nuts (ahem) at each fuel stop

I'll have to look into that sounds allot better than that stupid V-Twin shock adjuster that barely fits right. Are the wrenches sized?

I think I have a set of your old exhaust nuts. Ugly. Harbor freight sels a set of hook wrenches for 8 bux that work perfectly, don't slip and they don't trash your nuts (har)

My Weapon of Choice is a chain-Visegrip to tighten/remove the exhaust nuts. This all-purpose tool will grab just about any round object and hold it still. Using it on the exhaust nuts, you need to carefully place the chain for the clearances between the nut and the cylinder head can get tight and you don't want the chain scraping the head. I also use it (with adequate protection) to disassemble the front forks.

| | Ed,
I can't really remember exactly. I think that a BIG pipe wrench was used....some penetrating oil......lots of pulling and I think the nut finally collapsed in on itself and the nut came out that way. In hind |

the

was

Is this the new "old" girl you are working on? Did you get the bike |
