Help? On my 98S3T I've struggled for many years to properly tighten the nut on the front cylinder breather bolt. Once I've hooked the Carb bracket there is no room to put a open end wrench on it. I can only get on it from the front since there is no room to properly attached any kind of open end wrench. It hits the frame, carb bracket, etc... can someone share their secret?

Hootowl and others I just realized I meant the rear cylinder breather which has the 90 degree outlet. (I do use a deep socket on the front one that exits inside the stock air box. Thanks Tim |

I used a ground down 3/4" crows foot socket to get at mine before I switched over to banjo fittings. |

Natexlh1000 I've been thinking of trying that, but haven't needed one for any other projects, and didn't want to invest in a set. I appreciate your taking time to reply to my question and providing a solution. Now I've got some shopping to do... Ride Safe Tim in Fairfax 98 S3T 40k+ and still smiling |
