What do you guys use when removing the head nut by the kips shaft? I use 1/4 in drive 12mm shallow swivel socket, but it is a pain in the ass.

this might seem stupied im new to the site i dont no how to post im trying to figur out hot to get the 2 gears and the shaft out for kips or power valves so could you please tell me sorry for the stupiedety

Not sure what your asking. If your asking about pulling the kips rod 10mm left-hand thread nut. Then the way I do it is: pull pipe, pull cover, then there you go.

and get the manual before you brake anything else.
By the sound of it, you've already fubar the kips actuator...

Make sure you support the shaft from moving with a wrench while taking the nut loose. If you do not your will break the power valve pin that is bolted the the end of that shaft.

I must emphasize that the nut loosens by turning right, not left. It is opposite of a normal thread.

SLOW DOWN EVERYONE!, i will type slow for you, there are 4 nuts that clamp down the cylinder head to the case they are 12mm. I am NOT talking about the head cap nuts but the cylinder nuts. There is one locatated by the kips shaft, what do you guys use to remove it. Example= 12mm wrench, swivle socket, crows foot. Please read the whole post before you type a respone.

It is kind of a tricky nut to remove even with the engine out. This is why i posted the question.

I have a thin dogbone that works well, back up is an open end combo

OH, why didn't you say the clyinder nuts! Open end wrench!

In order to properly torque these cylinder base nuts, you will need a Motion Pro P/N 08-0134 torque adapter wrench. This is used in combination with a 3/8" torque wrench or ratchet handle. This is a 12 & 14 mm box wrench with a 3/8" square socket in the middle. It is a very useful tool and only cost like $12 -$15 or so.

I wouldn't recommend using a common open end wrench; too easy to round off the corners of the nut. imo.

A bit of a dicky response from someone looking for help...

But, yes a torque wrench adapter is what you need. They can be had from a good tool supplier.
