Thanx in advance!

Look up "Industrial Fasteners" in the yellow pages.

If you can, bring a crank pulley with you to size up the nuts. They'll probably let you back into the racks to look for the proper nut.

I ended up getting ones that were too large and grinding them down. I used three nuts, each about 2" thick. This is needed because the GSR hex socket is very recessed. More so than a CRV pulley.

Bring a rag to the warehouse. Everything is coated in anti-rust oil.

How about telling us some numbers?

Hex outside diameter?

Inside hole diameter?

Overall length of the hex socket? (not the handle)

I've got plenty of sizes of very large hex steel @ work, if it's just a matter of cutting it and drilling a hole through the middle....

Then you could weld on your own handle.

7PSI CRX: I measured nothing. I had an extra crank pulley to go by. I'm talking about 3 beers and an hour of QT with my bench grinder after a friend welded it together. If you want the easy way out, buy one for $70 from Summit. No measurements I could take would be better than you measuring your own crank pulley.

I'm not trying to be obnoxious, but fabricating this tool for yourself is going to require time and effort.

The most important thing to know is that you can't go by the depth of the CRV pulley. I did, and I had to go back to the store and back to the welder because the tool that I made for the CRV pulley was not deep enough for a GSR pulley.

BTW, you have to get a 23mm socket through the middle of the hex, so you better have a water cooled drill press with a 1" drill bit if you plan on starting with solid hexes.

Thanks again!!

Easy there guy.

Sorry!

Just asking.

Nothin' you and a ruler couldn't answer.

even you "senior" guys should look at a persons' profile once in awhile...

7PSI CRX: I just looked at your profile. I guess that fabrication work IS no problem for you!

My 2nd post came when I realized I may as well get off my lazy ass and go measure it for you, even though there's so much margin of error you can have on a tool this size and it will still work. (The hex tool would have to be A LOT smaller than the socket before it wouldn't hold it.)

BTW, that's the first time I've looked at a profile in the 2+ years I've been hanging out here... It's not a habit I'm into.

If anyone wants those pictures of the tool back up, let me know.
