CBR Steering Stem Nut tool

[rjbrittain11]

Anyone have this part that I can borrow? I don't want to pay to use it one time from a dealer, but I can pay you a 6-pack to borrow yours for a couple days

Its for a 2007 Honda CBR 600 but can be used on other models. Heres the part:

This is what the piece looks like on the bike. I think I have a bent steering stem. I used the screwdriver and hammer method to get it loose and that worked, then a few more spins and it got bound up.

Disclaimer: I crashed the bike last year and had pretty gnarly front end damage and im in the process of rebuilding.

Anyone think they can help out?

a spanner wrench should be able to take care of that as well...

home depot/grainger carries them so you may have luck at an automotive store...

i'll go looking, but its on there pretty good and it may just bend the spanner wrench, but it might be my last resort...thanks

i used a hook spanner wrench - you can get it from REI or from any bicycle store. problem is that you cant get an accurate torque on it

I have a few different sizes of those tools, what size is it on your bike?

 

[rjbrittain11]

I don't know how to check the size.

Tight's thight, and to tights broke! So don't break it.

Don't need to torque it. Get it nice and snug. If you can feel playin the stem it's too loose. If it's binding it's too tight.

Isn't that just the lockring that holds the adjustment? The actual adjustable cone is just below the lockring. Torque on the lockring doesn't matter, just snug enough to keep the adjustable cone from moving. Heck, in a pinch, I've used a hammer and screwdriver.

You still need the proper tool to set the torque on the first (lower) ring though.

Yep. I'll pack it in my tankbag tonight so I won't forget it.

Got a couple of Q's for you re. possible paintwork, too.
