to the originator of this thread: a few months ago somebody was listing some other than MoCo stainless steel axle wrenchs with 1/2 inch drive notch for a torque wrench. I just checked the old ebay link I had, but it has timed out and no info is available. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT) They appeared to be quality tools and suitable for both shop and on the rode work and were listed for $49..
having looked at the ebay item I took the H-D stock tool kit axle wrench and with a little dremil tool and file work, cut in the required square notch to accomodate my 1/2" torque wrench. works just like the H-D tool which we can't seem to buy unless we are H-D certified technitians.

dUDE! you must have a different dealer than found in most of the USA, including Zanottis. I find it almost impossible to order or purchase most H-D sevice tools. just my real life no BS experience.

Tightening an axle nut with a big crescent wrench is not scary and I'm not a BACKYARD mechanic.
