you could always cut the box end off of a cheap wrench and then weld a socket to it.

i usually just lean into it with the crecent to tighten it. i have removed one with a chisel as it was not coming loose with any type wrench.

Here's a link to the one I purchased from JB Tool although it shows it being out of stock; shocker like anything else.

And like main suggested, here's a link to a post I had created about said socket and Red Beard showing you what main is referring to

I had seen your post Rob and that's the socket I found on Amazon for $177, also out of stock.

I don't have access to welding equipment so I would have to take a cut socket to get fab'd. I might just use an adjustable however I would feel more comfortable being able to torque it.

In all honesty, a large adjustable crescent wrench is what I had used prior to obtaining the deep well 36mm socket but like you, also wanted to torque that nut to spec; if for anything else, just the peace of mind.

For the rivets, which 3/16" rivets which part number would i be looking at?

Avdel Stavex 0BS01-00614 Multi-Grip Blind Rivet; 3/16 Inch (0.187 Inch), (0.060 - 0.250 Inch Grip), Dome Head, Steel, Zinc Clear Finish

Avdel Stavex 0BS01-00618 Multi-Grip Blind Rivet; 3/16 Inch (0.187 Inch), (0.059 - 0.354 Inch Grip), Dome Head, Steel, Zinc Clear Finish

I assume I'd want to go with the larger grip radius?

 

[RobX-1]

Yes, the ones I used were the second link; the 0.059 - 0.354 Inch Grip

 

[RobX-1]

That's also in line with what I paid for a bag of 100 on eBay; with shipping factored in, it was approx. $20

Awesome thanks! No local suppliers had them in stock so I bought just enough from the stealership to get on the trail. I'm going to grab a box of the advel's for future service!

My shock rebuild is ready early! Now a mad scramble to finish everything to get out tomorrow!

I need the torque specs for all of the work I listed in the previous post, should I PM Mr.sled to get my status updated so that I can receive the service manual? I can post my receipt for VIP payment if needed.

I mainly need the crankcase, driveshaft bearing, speedo sensor, skid & carbide info.

Also to those interested. I found the tool from the crankcase gear removal how to. It's actually a tool to remove old Volkswagen rear axle nuts.

EMPI 5748, found it on Amazon.com for ~$50 CAD shipped. I'm using a crescent wrench for now but will be grabbing this for future service.

So im working on studding the new track; Stud Boy Power Point 1.375" with power plate backers. Is there a torque spec with these? Their website states, "Tighten the stud assembly using a deep well socket and allen wrench until the stud and backer plate bottom out against each other." .

This leaves it up to interpretation IMO, how do you tell when the stud shoulder has contacted the backer plate? Woody's instructions state 15 ft/lbs. I was considering following this instead. I've read lots of threads recommending blue or red loctite on studs, however stud boy recommends no loctite with nylon locking nuts, any recommendations here?

Improvised Torque Wrench

Improvise a torque wrench with a luggage scale.

www.engineeringtoolbox.com

You can also use a fishing scale or something on the end of a wrench to approximate a torgue wrench. 1 pound of force at the end of a 12 inch wrench=1 foot pound. Personally I just tighten the nut up and don't worry about it. To each his own. You will find that many of the members on this forum are perfectionists.

 

[ApexGT06Canuck]

I've got the crankcase back together and new track in, driveshaft bearing replaced, exhaust together, y pipe bracket and stud protectors riveted back in. Got the 36mm nut mantight, should be good to go

Still have to service the skid, carbides, swap in headlight assembly, Coolant swap and some other small stuff.

Thanks for all the help everyone

Meant to attach these in the previous post. Had to resize them
