I have pretty much finished the assembly of a '73 750 engine where I have one of the new AN 850 style barrels; all was going good until I got to the rear 3/8-26 nut that fits up near the carbs. I couldn't find a tool that would grab it; there isn't enough room to fit a wrench and not enough depth to mount a socket.
I could see making a tool by cutting down a socket, boxing the non-business end and welding a handle to the socket, but I have some time and would prefer to purchase an existing tool.
I figure that there must be some number of individuals in this forum that have installed the new AN barrel to their 750s, if so what did you do to tighten this pesky fastener?
