Engine removal tool
Does anyone have a engine removal socket (that allows you to remove the engine bolts) that they wish to sell? Preferably in the North east area. If so please contact me with details.

Re: Engine removal tool
If you are talking about the catsle ones then there is a guy on ebay that does em for about £30 however if it's the spacers the catsle nuts lock onto you cant undo then a 19mm 6 point socket will do them all except the really big one which is a 23mm 6 point socket.
12 point sockets wont work because the corners have been taken off to allow access for the castle nut tool |

If it's the one on the swingarm pivot then you want to torque it up on reassembly so you need a socket. I bought one for 50p at a jumble then castellated it myself with a grinder. Not pretty but the right price. Could have been done more neatly in a machine shop if you have a pal with the necessary. |

Re: Engine removal tool
Can imagine sockets being quite hard to machine what with being quite high alloy, have visions of putting it in the mill and seeing a £45 endmill being shredded lol

There's a rake of cheap twisted spanners, bent screwdrivers and knocked up specialist tools in a drawer of my toolchest. Each one has a specific purpose and some will never see the light of day again. Anyone need a home-made spark plug socket for no. 4 plug of a Vauxhall Magnum 2300? |
