Ground an old 3/4" drive socket that I had used to remove the flywheel nut on a 115 HP Evinrude outboard into a spanner for the bearing retainer nut. Initial grinding on the bench grinder, finish with the Dremel.

Slow boat from Taiwan arrived with my accelerator pump. Carbs mounted to intake horns but haven't connected the airbox boots yet. Assembled and installed the front calipers and hooked up the lines. Still not bled, though. Afraid I'll have to jump-start this master cylinder again. Turned out I bought the wrong piston for the rear (75 - 77 front vs 78 rear in GoldWing numbers). This one is too tall. Correct one on order. I hate brakes!
