Default Re: Homemade crank nut wrench ?

1 3/8" box wrenches don't show up too often, so I had to pay about $10 for this one at the used tool store. They aren't exactly cheap, but they have a good variety of tools.

I used an oxy/acc torch to heat the bend area red, then put in the two sharp bends and a slight bend to clear the pulley. It works great. You can also lay the wrench on the left frame rail, then click the starter with the key off to loosen the crank bolt.
