1974 750K Newbie Project
« on: February 13, 2016, 05:11:44 PM »
I bought a "parts" bike and I'm tearing down the engine. So far it looks pretty worn. I'm stuck trying to find a 12mm wrench that works to remove a couple nuts. The space is super tight. Does anyone know where I can get a wrench that will work? Thanks

Get a quality set of metric sockets and a ratchet wrench.

And an owners manual (download free here) that is the wrong order of removing stuff. You can cause damage.

+1...cam towers have to come off first.  Don't take anything more apart until you have a service manual.

Ok. Thanks for the feedback. I ordered a manual a few days ago. I'll wait until I get it before going further.

Get 6 point sockets. Less chance of slipping.
