FINAL DRIVE TOOLS

PRICE

FINAL DRIVE SLOTTED NUT TOOL  BODY ALL AIRHEADS 1955-1995 R66 R51/2 R51/3 R67 R68  but not  R26 R27 R100GS
This tool is used to remove the nut with the four slots that holds the oil seal and the pinion gear in place in the final drive. You will need a 1 5/8” (41mm) socket wrench to use with this tool, the same size socket used on the bolt that holds the flywheel onto the crankshaft on the /2.  Instructions are included for strapping the final drive to the wheel so you can remove the pinion nut, or you can get a pinion gear holder below.
You will also need a pin set.
$26
(.8 lb.)

Pin set /5 (1970) and later. Replaces Matra 253, 256, and BMW 33 1 700

$13

Pin set /2 (1969) and earlier. Replaces Matra 283 (after first removing oil seal) 506a (for /2 not R26/R27) and 507

$13

FINAL DRIVE PINION GEAR HOLDER 1955-1995 TWINS
Used to keep the pinion gear from rotating while unscrewing the pinion nut. The instructions that come with the FINAL DRIVE SLOTTED NUT TOOL describe a way of strapping the final drive to the wheel to achieve the same thing, but some people said that was too Mickey Mouse, sigh, so here is the proper tool. Replaces Matra 256, 507 and BMW 33 1 650.
$34

DRIVE SHAFT COUPLING PULLER 1955-1980
This removes the piece that couples the drive shaft to the final drive so that you can remove the drive shaft from the swingarm. Replaces Matra 508 and 299a as well as BMW 26 1 600 and 26 1 650. Having access to a vise will be helpful.
$76
(1.0 lb.)

DRIVE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT TORQUE WRENCH ADAPTER
BMW specifies a torque figure for the twelve sided bolts that hold the drive shaft universal joint onto the output flange of the transmission, but a conventional torque wrenches won't fit in the confined space so I've made an adapter. Bikes from 1970 came stock with the 12 sided bolts, /2 used an Allen type bolt but those can be replaced with the easier to tighten 12 sided ones.
$19

DRIVE SHAFT COMPRESSOR 1980-
Used to compress the spring on the rubber band drive shafts. BMW started to use them about September of 1980. Replaces BMW tool number 26 1 700.  The Clymer shop manual mistakenly calls this 33 17 350.
$32
(1.4 lb.)

DRIVE SHAFT NUT SOCKET R26 R27 and probably R25 and earlier
Fits the four slotted 18mm round drive shaft nut.
$54
