| - | A company called KATAR makes a wrench specifically for the Evo lower rocker box bolts. Made in the USA. \\ | + | Lower inner rocker box bolts (circled in red in the pic below) leave little room between the frame and the bolts for a wrench. \\ |
| - | It's a reversible ratcheting box wrench with a deep well 7/16" socket. \\ | + | And sometimes you have to turn the bolt one flat at a time due to little space so it takes longer to remove/install those three bolts. \\ |
| - | This allows for removal or installation of the lower rocker box hex nut bolts (5/16" bolts with 7/16" hex heads). \\ | + | You can buy (or make) tools with a shorter profile to help out with the space issue. \\ |
| - | It has a long handle and a short profile making it easier to get to the bolts. \\ | + | However, it's best to only install the bolts to "snug", then use a 1/4" beam type torque wrench to finish bolt installation. \\ |

| + | * You can buy a three pack of gear ratchet inserts,(1/4”-3/8”-1/2”). \\ That turns the appropriate size gear ratchet into a “slimmer profile" ratchet that can be useful at times. ((sportsterpaul of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=5924506#post5924506)) | ||
