Spark Plug Tunnel/and Tool
Ok
I think I might have found a gem of a tool for removing the Spark Plug Tunnel. I have been looking for things today to make one but I stopped at Home Depot and for some reason I turned down the plumbing isle. Low and Behold....for 6 bucks and some change I got something that is called a Shower Valve Socket Wrench made by Brasscraft and their model numbers is T159, it has two ends, a 29/32 and a 31/32 however on the 29/32 end the outside surface (diameter) was very close to what I had measured before leaving the house (thinking I could find a large Nut) so I bought it, took it out to the bike and pulled a plug wire and gently slipped it right into the Tunnel. It is a bit snug so I might gently sand the flat areas to a nice neat slip fit which from the way it fits now would not take a lot of work. I'm not sure how much the tool is from Ma Kaw or something on Ebay but for a total of $6.37 I'm not gonna complain :) Now for the important stuff.... This will be the 1st time I have removed these tunnels so what should or shouldn't I do. Do I need to use loctite on the re-insertion? Should I use No Cease and no loctite? Is there a Torc setting I need to know other than Gut-n-Tite? Please share all of your wealth upon my existence... ![]()
