2smartby1/2 Posted March 25, 2019 at 07:44 PM Share Posted March 25, 2019 at 07:44 PM If you love beer and AR's (and who doesn't...as long as they are not at the same time).....here is the hack of the day. I was adding one of my taps on my kegerator when I noticed that the special wrench used for the faucet tap would probably work on a castle nut. I have one of the really cheap keg wrenches....tested it today...and..IT WORKS! I have this type of wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incoming Posted March 25, 2019 at 08:55 PM Share Posted March 25, 2019 at 08:55 PM Yep, spanner wrench as the British call it. First time I seen one, it was in a motorcycle tool kit. Used to adjust the rear shocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought it was just "British" for wrench. Didn't know it was a certain type of wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which bike do you have? I had a Speed Triple (awesome!), got tired of folding myself up to ride it and bought a 1200 Explorer (more practical where I live too). Got bored with it and was lured by the pretty orange Austrian paint and rumble of a 1190 Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get to ride it much anymore (young kids and daycare drop-off duty), but the other day I just started it up for the first time this year (Stuck carbs? Sea Foam to the rescue!).
