Need Engine Removal Wrenches
 

Looking for the two "Lock Nut Wrench" listed in the Honda Service Manual; part #'s 07VMA-MBB0100 for the front and center engine bolt, and 07HMA-MR70200 for the rear engine bolt. In the Haynes book, they mention using a "fabricated tool". Does anyone have a source for the factory wrenches? I can only imagine the dealer wants quite a few bucks..... As for the fabricated ones as well, any ideas? Thanks all....

Do you have any air tools?
You can make one out of a cheapo socket.
Use a high speed mini grinder to make the cutouts to match the nut on the bike.

I bought some. They're not that expensive and the dogs are nice and square. You'd hate to cobble together some tool, then disfigure your fancy little frame nuts!

No mine aren't for sale!

So did you get them from the dealer, or from another source, and for how much may I ask?
