Still No Answer as to How Do Ya Tighten The Nut on the Left Side of the CRANK!!!!!!!!!!!. ......lm

Catch the LEFT piston at BDC after ignition stroke (not the RIGHT -- don't want to strain the crankshaft, do we?)

1. Pour about 50cc of engine oil into the left bore
2. Rotate the crank c/w (from the left side) until the oil just reaches the plug 'ole
3. Replace the sparkplug
4. Continue to rotate the crank (remember: backwards, now!) 'till it hydraulically locks
5. Go to eBay and Buy It Now a $450 Snap On impact gun
6. Wait for delivery
7. Go to local toolmaker with The Nut and get him to make a special castellated socket with a female ½" drive
8. Tighten the nut with your new tools
9. Strip the castellations from the 100-buck tool that your guy made for you
10. Cry a little but eventually rest in the knowledge that the nut is now tight
11. Take out both sparkplugs and kick the motor over
12. Spend the rest of the evening wondering how you're gonna clean the garage ceiling/car/toolchest and anything else within 5 yards of the left side of the bike.....

Hi Ed,


I hold the clutch with the Honda clutch outer tool, and then tighten the nut with the Honda 20 mm castle nut tool. (not joking, and yes I know, I have to much time and to much tools on/in my hands).

You asked a question about the part number of the socket.
I don't know if you asked me this question, but since no one responded :

The P/N of the socket I use for the nut is 11500108-1

I make my own castle nut sockets from Taiwan sockets. Used tool store in town sells used Taiwan sockets for 50 cents to a dollar. Sometimes if they are in a good mood, they just give them too you. Using a Dremel and a small cut off wheel, I just make the 4 lugs by cutting away the socket. I clean them up and do the final fitting with a small file. If it breaks, I spend another 50 cents and make another. If you make them right, they hold up pretty well. After all, how many times you gonna need this socket??
