You guy's apparently have never taken apart a new Go motor before. The rod is a pretty tight fit and you can't just get it off with your fingers very easy like most motors. I made the tool so I didn't have to pry or possibly wreck the rod getting it apart. The tool applies an even pressure and takes little effort to get the rod off. As I said I just turned it with my fingers, the bolt was just the easiest thing to use, I would never put a wrench on it.

I have done quite a bit of experimenting on motors in the past year, I tried drilling out crank pins and pressing a new pin in when the crank was worn. The longest I got this to work was 2 races with a 421b, so I'm done trying that. Lately I found a way to grind the crank pin and made a new bushing in the rod. This worked very well this last weekend with an Rb modded crank in a p5x.
