Prototype Drive Pulley Tool
Changing the drive belt of the Silver Wing
is a job well within the capabilities of most individuals. A
metric socket set, metric Allen wrenches, and a suitable torque wrench
is all you need. Oh yeah, one more tool. You will need some type of
spanner to hold the drive pulley while loosening or tightening the
large bolt. Honda has a
specialty tool just for this purpose. It is expensive for something you
won't use much. I knew I could come up with something, for cheap, that
would do the job.
All you need is some scrap wood, 2 1/4"x1.5"x20 carriage head bolts w/washers and nuts. A wood saw, drill, and drill bits are all the tools to make this item.
I have used this tool many times and it works great.
Here is another way to go. Metal Spanner
A piece of scrap1/2" plywood is what I use.
These dimensions seem to be about perfect.
Mark for drilling the holes to these values.
Holes drilled and the hardware laid out for assembly.
I had one longer bolt that I had to cut to size.
I just used what I had on hand.
