A spanner wrench is what is supposed to be used on the top nut. However like Shiny said, you can use Channel locks, or even a hammer, and punch. Don't worry about the little balls. Your bike will have tapered bearings in it. As, for the engine. You can hook up a battery to it, and crank it over. Just hook up the ground to the case, and touch the positive to the wire terminal on the starter. If, you get it cranking, you can check compression. If it has compression I would not rebuild it!!!! I don't know why everybody wants to rebuild an engine that is designed to go 100,000 + miles when it only has 10,000-20,000 miles on it.
