cecome Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I am in the process of swapping my old motor with a much better setup. I can not break the engine mounting bolt locks with a hammer and a punch. Manual calls for a special tool that Honda says they can no longer order. If anyone has the proper tool I could borrow I would be thrilled. Additionally I looked for a write up on engine removal/replacement and did not see one. I am working from the shop manual but I know sometimes the board members have found more efficient ways. Please help a brother out if you can. Thanks to all in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockmeupto125 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Plenty on ebay. Have you reefed on the left side? If I sent you mine priority you might not get it by the weekend. You can make one with a hacksaw, a dremel, and a harbor freight socket easily enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cecome Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 ordered the MP tool per Hanks part number. We will see I won't have time till Monday anyway. If it takes a week or 3 I would prefer to do it right. Thank you all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon haney Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I made mine out of an old cheap socket. Got three. One for engine mounting bolts, one for steering stem nut, and one for the swing-arm bolt. They're not perfect, but they work. Also, makes it easy to torque properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
