BrokeStonedBiker Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 i was just wondering if these are the right size. i only get to visit my shee about every other weekend when i go on vacation. would hate to get up there and find out there the wrong size. they are 50mm. thats what it say in the clymers but would like to double check. if anyone knows for sure that its the right size that would be great.

Cotton eyed Joe Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 I made a set almost identical to that almost 2 years ago. I cut the 50 mm hex into it though, instead of the rounded part. I eventually cut them up for other parts because I found I was strong enough to use 2 adjustable wrenches. I break shit from time to time, so if I can give up some mechanical advantage I do it for the sake of the part my safety or the tool.

Well what I meant was, I have a tendancy to break shit. In the last year I've broken 2 Craftsman ratchets and a 7/8 box wrench. Not working on my Banshee, but on other stuff that needed to be torqued down. So, what I do is use a shorter wrench. This gives a shorter torque lever arm, and I can't put so much into it. When I tighten my axle nuts, I have a wrench on each one, and I just push one and pull one and they are tight enough with some lock tite. I don't put pipes on any wrench anymore. lol.... I get myself into trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke 2 wrenches and a ratchet in the last year working on my truck.. only worked on it a few times, but some stuff was so welded on with rust (Michigan salty roads). Gotta love lifetime replacement tools... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
