Steering Stem Socket GL1100

[Randal]

Does anyone know where to purchase the socket (steering stem socket wrench) that will work on a 81 GL1100 Standard? The Honda shop I called said they did not sell tools. I want to finsh installing new headset bearings and get on with my restoration project.

Welcome, Hope you enjoy it here.

To answer your question, it is just as easy to put a flat head screwdriver in the notch and hit it a little bit with a hammer. Once it breaks loose, your home free. It's not on super tight so it's not very difficult.

Thanks for the reply, I actually did use the screw driver, against my better judgement, and have removed the nut. I am wanting the proper tool so that I can torque the nut to the specs in the manual. If anyone has the tool in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, I would love to borrow it.
