Title: What unusual tools are needed for the K100?
Post by: Octarine on April 14, 2013, 10:21:43 AM: I have a pretty good selection of metric tools but I noticed that the clutch needs a 30mm socket. My set goes to 27mm so there's one I need. I'm ordering the shim bucket tools as I cant find any to borrow in Chicago. Anything else that is out of the ordinary? I'm also getting metric feeler gauges since its easier to just work in metric.

Post by: cy7878 on April 14, 2013, 12:14:02 PM: I'm sure you already know, but I found out the spark plug is an 18mm or 11/16 socket, which I didn't have.
I ordered my valve adjustment tool from Ken along with the clutch centering tool, which is unnecessary but nice to have.
I don't know why, but the brake bleed nipple nut is not a metric size. Although an adjustable wrench worked, it wasn't as tight as I would liked.

Along the way, I had to buy a seal puller and a rear main seal drift, which I may later offer it up for people to borrow.

Do a search for his complete name and phone number.

Edit>> Found it in the Lieberry

Sucks as I am anxious to finish the mechanical work.

I did get to borrow Steve at Motoworks' shim tool to measure. Ive got the replacement shims all set to go but he needed the tool back so I will have to wait.

BTW, Motoworks service is the Best! They are lucky to have Steve S in the service dept.

11 mm is the correct size, or ~ 7/16¨.

Thanks for that info. I lost my 10mm wrench. This gives me the incentive to get a set that will have both.
