Spanner nut tool?
« on: June 06, 2022, 06:43:59 PM »
Spanner but tool?
What are you guys using to take of the spanner nut under your top triple tree?
I've seen some sockets for it and have a few wrenches at work. But nothing at home. Used a large set of water pump pliers this time but was wanting to get a dedicated tool for such.

I have a small “latch hook” wrench that came with a set of shocks. Used for adjusting the bottom spring perch, it works perfectly for the job you describe. Looks a lot like the one pictured.

The shock-adjuster tool in the Honda toolkit that came with the bike is the same tool used for that head nut.
Do you have one of the Honda toolkits?

That looks like a cheesy-er stamped-out version of the nice cast ones in the old Honda tool kits.
