ordered a rebuild kit yesterday afternoon from t,internet.
arrived this morning at 09:30 (wow)

for the time being i used a new pattern one i had in the garage from david silver which only cost about

The OE Honda or aftermarket tool will get the job done.

Those motion pro pliers work very well and also available from Rudigier Paustian at the XS650 shop in Germany...postage is not as pricey as from the states..
