There is a HD tool for that, about $40. I have one you could borrow but it would take about a week to get to ya. The part # is in my Engine Build Thread, I would look if you need it?

In the end, you just have to accept tools as incidental to the cause, don't include them in the cost of working on your bike.

Buy them, of course, the cheaper you can buy/find them the better but in the end, buy them and ignore them as a cost.

It's like, if the wife wants earrings and thinks she deserves them because she has suspicions that you're spending too much money on your bike.
So, you have to resort to mathematics. There are numerous formulas to arrive at the right amount you tell your wife when pressed about how much money it costs to maintain your fix.

Don't get me wrong, when pressed hard by the Mrs. I just close her out of the money and ignore her, (remember, life is short, don't get wrapped up in her feelings, when you're dead, you absolutely won't give a **** about her feelings).

But, for the short term, divide all costs associated with your bike by 10, cut that in half and claim a fifth of that as the cost for the stuff you do.

And then finish off the conversation with a dumb look, something like Jerry Lewis would do when confused.

Bam, you're off scott free to continue with your mission without having to waste money on earrings for stupid Valentines day

Now then, buy the tools with reckless abandon

Thanks Alan. I'll cruise by my dealer first and see if they have one. I appreciate the offer though
