They do make a special tool exactly for my purpose, and it is $123.29. I don't think so.

Why do think they made it 20mm instead of 19mm, which you could buy anywhere?

No I haven't. Texting her right now. LOL I still would rather have the tool for my own collection though anyway.

I found one on the UK Ebay site for *12 pounds* er....$21. If I don't find a lead on one locally, I'm ordering that thing tonight.

It was more about the redirection than the tool-borrowing... but you know she'll help you out

If I could find a 20mm allen wrench I would do that. 20mm hex/allen anything is quite difficult to find I'm discovering.

As for Harbor Freight, their sets don't include 20mm. :/ Checked that earlier today.

Yea, I ran down to my tool box to check the set I just bought for $10...it only goes up to 17mm...

I thought I found one that might work, it's the axle tool from motion pro but it skips right over you 19-22mm, sorry.

You don't read so well do ya? LOL I want it for TORQUING DOWN the nut when I put the motor back together. I don't recall seeing a torque arm or torque dial on any of the vise grips in my tool box.

Thanks for lookin' and checking. I looked at the MotionPro stuff already. :/

Found this.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-2-SQ-Drive-H...#ht_500wt_1075

I'll order it tonight if nobody comes up with something more....local. LOL
