Rocker Arm/Crankshaft Tool
If you don’t have a spanner wrench to lift the rocker
arms or to turn the crankshaft, you can make a tool for
doing this out of an old junk connecting rod.
Find a used connecting rod from a 10 HP or larger
engine. Remove and discard the rod cap. If it is a Posi-
Lock rod, you will also need to remove the studs. If it is
a Command rod, you will need to grind off the aligning
steps, so the joint surface is flat. Find a 1" long
capscrew with the correct thread size to match the
threads in the connecting rod. Obtain a flat washer
with the correct I.D. to slip on the capscrew and an
O.D. of approximately 1". Kohler Part No. 12 468 05-S
can be used if you don’t have the right size on hand.
Assemble the capscrew and washer to the joint
surface of the rod, as shown in Figure 2-3.
