What do you all use to get the alen bolts off? I used a alen wrench on the right and alen bit and a box wrench. How can I get a torque wrench in there when I go back together?

BTW it's a 2000 Softail Standard


Thanks

 

you need a ball end allen socket allows you to get the angle needed to get easier access. I don't torque those bolts , tight and even. its not rocket science there. tighten them equally at a time. make sure you line up the bracket that holds the carb in place first, before tightening

 

I ordered the little ratchet tool from Harley to do mine. Also used the plastic alignment tool from Harley. Torquing the front bolt, carb side, riiiiggghhhttt...
I would like to see the tool used for torque, or maybe it is done while engine is hanging on a string at the factory.

 

Thx for the replys. What i did was cut off half the length of a allen wrench (of the short side). Used the small peice with a 1/4" , 1/4 Drive socket and a small swivel and my inch pound torque and was able to torque the right 2 bolts (carb side) then used the cut allen wrench on the torqued side to fell how tight they were and made the right side as close to that as i could using the cut allen wrench for the left side bolts. Before i used the torque wrench i used the allen wrench on all 4 bolts to evenly tighten the manifold.
