My Turn for Dumb Question 4 Years, 4 Months ago

Help guys, I need to retorque the steering head on my scooter, and the special Yamaha Tool is $48.95. There has to be another source for a spanner that can do the job. I have tried other sources like Sears and all they had was pin spanners the smallest being a 3" radius. That seems a bit large for the steering head and it does not attach to a torque wrench. I read a post on a home made tool, but the photos did not come through. I have limited fabrication ability so would rather purchase a tool to do the job. What have you all done. Makes me wish I had kept my old Motorcycle tool kits as they all came with a spanner to tighten the steering head
