#342014 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1674 HEX/allen wrenches 1 Year, 3 Months ago   Curious what you guys use. I bought a set of socket allen wrenches to use with my torque wrench and to this day I cannot use them. I tired using them on my hex nuts that hold the exhaust pipe in place but they are too bulky and the pipe interferes so I cannot use them for that. The other day I tried to torque down my carb joint (intake manifold)and again they were too bulky to fit. Has anyone found a set of allen wrenches that can be used with a torque wrench that works on both the exhaust pipe and intake manifold?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #342016 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata ! Platinum Boarder Posts: 4368 Re:HEX/allen wrenches 1 Year, 3 Months ago   I bought a cheap set of those at Lowes for exhaust bolts n such....they work great. But if I would try to get them in a tight spot , I can see where they'd get too bulky.   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #342017 GK_Radar (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 127 Re:HEX/allen wrenches 1 Year, 3 Months ago   Try craftsman or mack or snap-on tools. I beleive they make a set of socket end allens that would work on a torque wrench.   Logged     Christopher \\\\\\\"Radar\\\\\\\" ONeal Green Knights MMC Ch 67 Utah Patriot Guard Utah Americian Legion Riders   The administrator has disabled public write access. #342018 SPUDWRENCH12 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 784 Re:HEX/allen wrenches 1 Year, 3 Months ago   I use regular old metric Allen wrenches.since i do a lot of wrenching on my own at work i have somewhat of a fell for when to let up on the wrench.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #342019 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2279 Re:HEX/allen wrenches 1 Year, 3 Months ago   I have two big sets of metric allen wrenches (one with ball ends) plus a socket set (Craftsman) for things I need to torque. Also, dont forget guys, carry a short set of allen's on your bike. You need them more than anything else in your tool kit and it doesn't come with them.   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #342021 SPUDWRENCH12 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 784 Re:HEX/allen wrenches 1 Year, 3 Months ago   ditto , that   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #342024 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1674 Re:HEX/allen wrenches 1 Year, 3 Months ago   takehikes wrote: You need them more than anything else in your tool kit and it doesn't come with them.the yamaha tool kit on my bike had all the allen wrenches included. unfortunately yamaha tools are cheap.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #342025 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride! Just ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2132 Re:HEX/allen wrenches 1 Year, 3 Months ago   I have a set of Snap-on allen sockets I use every time I work on my bike. So I'm a little confused as to why you can't seem to fit yours on the exhaust? I use the allen socket along with a long extension and have no problem getting my exhaust bolts off. Does your exhaust headers prevent you from getting in there?
