Motion Pro Push Rod Tube Tool 08-0255

Worked great. Got tired of scratching stuff up with a screwdriver.

I have been looking for this tool since 2020. You could not buy this tool anywhere. The manufacturer was back ordered. All the major Motorcycle venders did not have this tool in stock. This is a great tool, removing and installing the push rod tube off the Harley Davidson motors is a breeze. I also have the JIMS pushrod tube tool, this tool out performs the JIMS Tool.

This was a life saver when I went with adjustable pushrods and SE tubes. Made it really easy.

The tool was useful because of its design. However the tool I received the cup side of the tool and the flat side of the tool were not square with one another. The cup side of the tool was not formed really well and would slip off of the lifter rod cover tube. I easily fixed the shape of the tool and that seemed to work well enough to finish the job.

1973 XLCH 1000. Replaced push rod tubes after valve adjustment. Tubes had 3 new cork seals installed. On this model the tool part that pushes the spring cover down did not fully fit around it due to interference from the cylinder fins. Because the tool could not be fully inserted, it kept slipping off the spring cover. After multiple attempts and brute force pushing in and squeezing the tool at the same time, the keepers finally were able to be pushed in. Even though it did not work perfectly, it did finally work.I believe the extral thickness of the 3 new cork seals made it that much harder to squeeze the tool because they were not compressed like the used ones. Without this tool though, not sure I could ever have installed the keepers.

Works pretty good. Sometimes it's just as easy to use a screwdriver and fingers as there is limited space to get the retainer in place. Overall it's a good concept though.

I bought this tool after trying to remove my pushrod covers the old fashion way of using a screwdriver. After scratching up my covers and looking for a better way, I did some research finding some Motion Pro reviews and videos online. Decided to buy the too on Amazon and couldn't be happier. Made the job of removing and installing pushrod covers so easy my grandma could do it....Don't be cheap, work smarter, not harder....great product.

This tool doesn't work with a silicone seal kit that I purchased. The tool seems to be ok, but isn't strong enough to allow the clips to drop in with the thicker seal kit. In addition, the tool doesn't clear the fins on one of the rear cylinder pushrod covers on my '73 Sportster. Even after going back to the stock seals, this tool didn't work well and gets caught on the cooling fins. I ended up using the screwdriver method to install the clips.
