Honda 62mm special wrench for 40hp, looking for one

[Dfisher]

Hi all, thought I might try reaching out to the community here and see if anyone has a lead for me. I am looking for the special Honda 62mm wrench
907LPA-ZV301010 for the lower unit on a 40hp outboard. It seems more elusive than an endangered species, I can't find one to buy. I thought I had one on Boats.com but it went to backorder status and I doubt I'll ever see that one. I would think there would be some used ones people didn't need any longer out there but I haven't come across one yet.

If anyone has a lead on one of these rare wrenches I'd sure appreciate a heads up.
Thanks much,
Don

I searched for 907LPA-ZV301010 and zero returns. Looks like you need 07LPA-ZV30101 (no 9 at the beginning and no 0 and the end?) Anyway, when I worked on my Volvo Penta outdrive, I made a few tools similar to this. Might be an option? Looks like this tool is close to $300.

When I was running the Honda 40’s & needed to work on a lower unit, the cost of of this tool had me hauling the boat to a Honda repair place 150 miles away instead of doing the work myself.

This is a unicorn tool and the design of the goofy nut behind the prop to change the seal is stupid. I eventually made one. My experience is even if you can get the tool, or if you made the tool like I did, as soon as you put any real leverage on it at all, you know like you have to get the dang thing off, you pop a crack in the case running through the threads because it is paper thin. A number of dealers won't touch them because of this. The good news is once the case cracks the nuts comes right off.

The Honda dealer did the work, but as TR said, still had to have the case replaced on one of the motors for an additional $600 & that was years ago.
