[QUOTE="stevohhh, post: 707727, member: 35743"] Re: Special tools? No. You will have to come up with a way to torque the cylinder nuts down. Search this site for various ways to do this wihout buying the "special" tool. I went to a pawn shop and bought a fine craftsman stubby 12mm combo wrench for $2.00 and welded a cheap 3/8" dirve socket to the open end of the wrench. Remember if you use this method to keep the wrench 90 degrees to your torque wrench. Re: Straight forward? Yes. You will want to pay close attention to the way the KIPS valve comes apart. Some of the earlier manuals had the valves reversed. Also when you remove the KIPS valve advance lever, remember that the nut has left handed threads and you need to hold the shaft steady, there are two flat spots on the shaft that are designed for that purpose, I used a small crescent wrench. I also consider myself to have reasonable mechanical ability and had no trouble. I bought a new to me 97 KDX 220 with all the standard mods in the fall of 02 and decided to rebuild it just for the heck of it that winter. I'm glad I did becouse it still had the stock grenade in it. Anyway utilize this site and your shop manual and you should have no problems. [/QUOTE]
