FLYWHEEL HOLDING TOOL ROCKER ARM/CRANKSHAFT TOOL
A fl ywheel holding tool can be made out of an old junk
fl ywheel ring gear and used in place of a strap wrench.
1. Using an abrasive cut-off wheel, cut out a six tooth
segment of ring gear as shown.
2. Grind off any burrs or sharp edges.
3. Invert segment and place it between ignition bosses
on crankcase so tool teeth engage fl ywheel ring
gear teeth. Bosses will lock tool and fl ywheel in
position for loosening, tightening, or removing with a
puller.
A spanner wrench to lift rocker arms or turn crankshaft
may be made out of an old junk connecting rod.
1. Find a used connecting rod from a 10 HP or larger
engine. Remove and discard rod cap.
2. Remove studs of a Posi-Lock rod or grind off
aligning steps of a Command rod, so joint surface is
fl at.
3. Find a 1 in. long capscrew with correct thread size to
match threads in connecting rod.
4. Use a fl at washer with correct I.D. to slip on
capscrew and approximately 1 in. O.D. Assemble
capscrew and washer to joint surface of rod.
