 Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2012 10:56 am Post subject: Cylinder base wrench |
 |
|
The Russian cylinder base wrench in my tool kit is not the greatest at reaching some nuts. Nor is it possible to set a real torque value using it. I *think* (from my fading memory) the nuts are 14mm, so has anyone used a regular 9/16th cylinder base wrench before?
Or, is there such a thing as a 14mm cylinder base wrench, other than the one in my Russian tool set?
Thanks,
Steve Dalton

Check with George Coy. He makes a cylinder base tool with a socket head that your torque wrench will work with. Off the top of my head I believe it is a 1/2 inch drive but don't quote me on it. It is a thin walled cylinder base wrench so it will fit in those tight spots like between the carb and the sump. Careful not to over torque the tool to hard though or it will split down the side.
Don't remember the base nut size. Been about 19 months since I tore my engine down. I want to say 15 mm was the size though. Have not tried a 9/16 th wrench either.

I regularly use a 9/16" Pratt & Whitney cylinder base wrench but since it is
0.011" bigger than 14 mm you need to be sure it is in good condition.
Been meaning to check with Snap - On re a 14 mm one but so far have not done
so. A standard 14 mm crow foot will not work.

Hi Steve,
if you have a bench grinder you could do the job
in a few minutes. Just grind the top end of the
cyl. base wrench into the shape of a 7/8" hex nut
and slide the matching 6-point socket on, please see
attached picture. Now you can use your torque
wrench, extension, ratchet, etc. 
You can use this technique also to modify some of
the other engine tools as well.
Hope that helps.
cheers
Elmar

Elmar, great idea!
Doug, are the Chinese wrenches you carry the same as the Russian ones with a T-handle at the end to "hand-tighten" the nuts?
Thanks,
Steve

Yes they are the same. I have cut the T handle top off mine and welded on a socket so I could use my torque wrench.
