Special Tools

Special tools

Not every task can be accomplished with the usual hand tools. Pre-tensioning fork springs, pulling breaker cams to advance, crimping cable connectors, bleeding brakes, balancing wheels, installing and removing bearings, setting rivets, lapping bushes, fixing crankshafts ... there are so many tasks that require special tools to be done well and correctly.

A few examples: The brake drum lug bolts on Big Twin drum brakes cannot be reached or loosened with standard Allen keys. Clutch hub nuts on 45"/750cc flatheads cannot be opened with a standard socket and a normal slotted screwdriver will not fit into the filler plugs on early Sportster primary covers.

For such work, you are much better off using a special tool designed specifically for this purpose. The W&W Cycles range of special tools is extensive and, like our entire range, is organized from electrics to handlebars, forks, brakes etc. to primaries.
