I just wanted to share with everyone a tool I found on Craigslist last month. This guy (Craig Rhodes) sells this nut/bolt holder for around $15 delivered. It’s design and concept is so simple – it’s ingenious! I have already used it a few times, and wonder why somebody didn’t think of this years ago. If I was still a Snap-On Tools dealer, I’d order a case of these from him to resell!
Yesterday I was reinstalling the master cylinder on my XP1000, and the one nut was going to be a real PITA. Usually I put a layer of paper over the nut, and force it in the socket, or tape the nut to the open end of a wrench. I grabbed this new tool, and had the nut on immediately!
I’ll attach a couple of pictures. One of the tool laying on my tire, and the other looking down towards the M/C bolt I needed to get the nut on. I swear Polaris must either employ midgets, children, contortionists – or all the above, to assemble these toys of ours. I’ve often wondered if they use KY Jelly for assembly lube, to get some of the parts stuffed where they belong!
NOTE: I have no affiliation at all with this gentleman, and get nothing at all for posting this. Heck, I’m not even sure if I posted in the correct area – or if I’m even allowed to post it here? I just know there seems to be a lot of nuts and bolts on these RZRs that you can see, but not touch with your fingers! I’m sure my neighbors are getting tired of learning new cuss words, and I doubt I’m the only one describing my RZR parts as " #!*^% " lol.
