Over on the doc's site Cyborg started a thread showing what tools are used ( or rather, can be) for working on a GY6 motor. These are specific to the GY6. I made a video illustrating what tools I have accumulated thus far.... If you got GY6 specific tools, add 'em to this thread!!!  Also, my plan is here when the weather get's a little better I have a Bunch of GY6 work to do..... Engine builds are on that list. So, if ya watch my video and see any specialty tools I forgot, let me know..... |

Very good idea here and I hope all will add to this. JR Very soon I hope to get a video up showing the Taida case boring tools in action. For anybody who has not watched the Video yet, this particular video features Taida case boring tools, for both the 125/150cc "a" case (54mm) and the "b" case (57mm) ... These are pretty rare tools and I don't know of any other Youtube Video's that illustrate them. The Draper oil seal remover is very nice as well! -------------------------- A tool I don't have and don't know how to use is a chain breaker, anyone have experience with these? |

A chain breaker is basically a small press. You can get simple ones for less than $10, or go all out and spend well over $100. Be sure it will fit the links!

BTW-How much did you pay for the seal puller anyway $75?,,didn't fee like googling it,,was going to get the HF one....lol I paid around $150.00 for the Draper oil removal/install seal kit. There are many kits that are cheaper and I'm a big fan of Harbor Freight supplies, but oil seals are one them them cheap things that if not installed correctly can cause big headaches down the road... It analogous to Snap-On and Craftsman.... I paid a little extra for the name, but there is no higher quality than Draper... (BTW, the Oil seal kit isn't just for the GY6, it can be used on almost all vehicles). I forgot to add my electronic tools and plugs to the Video... You're right, a Volt meter is a must!!! |

Yeah,,
I need an oil seal remover/installer,,they work nice,,an oil seal is one of those parts you want to be careful when installing,,can also bugger up the seat removing them if your not careful.
Thanks for the ideas bro!

I have had a set of Pittsburgh torques for a couple years now. Never had a problem with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone. |

You just have to look at what you buy,,most of the hand tools with lifetime on them are great quality,,and wont break the bank like Snap on or Mac...for auto,scooter,and small engine stuff its perfect!
