|Homemade check ball lapping tool made with a tool steel shank and a \\ 3/8" carbide ball tip on the end. The pocket for the ball to sit was cut \\ with a 3/8" ball end mill then a few drops of Loctite 404 to keep it there.

+ | ====== Retaining Rings ====== | ||
+ | These precision cuticle scissors are great for removing external retainer rings. \\ | ||
+ | Especially the ones on oil pumps or anywhere they are hard to reach. \\ | ||
+ | The normal ring pliers are bulky, the end points hardly match the holes and the tool usually slips off the retainer. \\ | ||
+ | These scissors have fine points that won't break or slip on the retainers as the normal ones sometimes do. \\ | ||
+ | You can get the points deeper into the holes which helps to hold the retainer more sturdy while removing it. \\ | ||
+ | These work for removal and installation of the retainer rings. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\ | ||

+ | Mounting bolts (to the engine): \\ | ||
+ | 77-97 models - (4 bolts) \\ | ||
+ | 98-Up - (2 bolts - front outside and rear inside) \\ | ||
+ | The Allen head cap bolts have 1/4"x20 threads and a 3/16" socket head. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | On 98-Up pumps, the front bolt can be removed / installed with a regular size Allen wrench but the rear bolt is inside the frame. \\ | ||
+ | So you have to go between the frame and the engine to get to that bolt. \\ | ||
+ | A regular size Allen wrench is very difficult to use as the 90° bend on the end hits the frame /engine. \\ | ||
+ | This 3/16"x6" Allen socket makes the job a lot easier. \\ | ||
+ | The Allen wrench doesn't have to be 6" long. This one simply gives you more room to work. \\ | ||
