    Honda speciaty tools

    Hi everyone, I have a bunch of ATC's I hope to start finally tackling soon. I was going to tackle some 90s' first

    I am trying to gather any specialty Honda tools I might need. The manual at oscarmeyer site has special tools section that is not helpful. Most are not available or I am sure I can use generic tools I have. But what about the first tool they mention for engine?
    http://www.oscarmayer.net/atc/manual...vicemanual.pdf

    There is link for quick access

    In the Haynes manual I found a few tools to get I see on Partzilla still.
    07933-2160000 puller, generator
    07916-3710000 wrench socket 16mm

    Has anyone come up with a general list of special Honda tools that might be needed over and above generic motorcycle specialty tools? I want to fill this Partzilla order for free shipping but I guess if that is all I come up with I will just order them

    thanks!

    Unless you have the money and just want the Honda tools, there's nothing special about them and you can get some from Amazon or eBay for much less. I don't know where the OEM tools are made, but I'd guess Japan, if that's something you'd rather purchase than supporting China.

    Harbor Freight sells a good seal driver set. I have one and have used it a good bit.

    The 'wrench socket' is just a clutch tool. Easy enough to buy elsewhere for much less. Same for the flywheel puller.

    If you were running a repair shop, I'd suggest the OEM tools, but for occasional use, the alternatives should work just fine.

    OEM tools like you're looking at aren't exactly a high resale item. Nothing hard to get or all that special. They're not like British Standard Cycle (BSC) taps and dies for heavy use, which I've bought some cheap ones for single jobs (made in India). British motor bike owners understand. It's not metric or SAE, it's BSC and nobody stocks that. Absolutely can't go to the hardware store and buy a BSC nut or bolt.

    Sorry about delay, appreciate response. I was thinking they were special for the ATC 90 but if they are just general tools than I might just look to Motion Pro or something. I already have many of their tools and other generic stuff you mentioned.

    Mainly I need a general puller, like for fly wheels and a general case splitter for motorcycle engines. I think I have nearly all other things cover. I could use bearing puller that is not a slide type.

    I like to use quality tools where I can. I guess Motion Pro okay, nothing spectacular...but sometimes I try to stay with the same brand for a collection.

    Thank you!

    Motion Pro makes a lot of good and useful tools.

    They're a little more expensive than some others but I think they do all the R&D then other companies just copy them. I'll support the drivers more than the hitchhikers.

    I just used their cable lubber a few days ago. I've been using the old style for longer than a decade, but the new one really seals better and forces the oil though where it needs to go instead of leaking around the tool. The old one is still needed though, as the new one won't fit some cables.

    Pullers for tough jobs need to be well built. That's not a place to skimp on quality, but the flywheels on trikes aren't usually that difficult to remove. I wouldn't choose a budget priced case splitter though. Engine cases with a lot of corrosion around the dowels can be tough to separate.
