The SST-45 Gear Case Specialty Tool Manual provides the dimensions and fabrication information needed to make, or have a machinist make, the specialty tools referenced in the SST-45 Gear Case Repair & Rebuild Manual.
These tools are used during disassembly, inspection, bearing and seal service, and rebuilding of the specialized SST-45 / Formula Light racing lower unit.
Ideal for racers, engine builders, race shops, and machinists who need the correct tool specifications to service SST-45 gearcases properly.

The SST-45 Gear Case Specialty Tool Specifications Manual provides the measurements, dimensions, and fabrication information needed to make the specialty tools referenced throughout the SST-45 Gear Case Repair & Rebuild Manual.
Many of these tools were never manufactured or NLA (No Longer Available). This manual gives racers, engine builders, and machinists the information needed to fabricate the tools themselves or have them professionally machined.
For anyone who plans to service, repair, or completely rebuild an SST-45 / Formula Light racing lower unit, this manual is an important companion to the gearcase repair manual.
The SST-45 Gear Case Repair & Rebuild Manual references specialty tools required for certain disassembly, installation, inspection, and assembly procedures.
This specialty tool manual provides the specifications needed to create those tools.
Together, the two manuals provide a more complete technical resource:
This makes it much easier for racers and shops to perform gearcase work without having to locate discontinued or hard-to-find factory specialty tools.
One of the biggest advantages of this manual is that it gives you the flexibility to produce the tools locally.
The specifications can be used to:
For many SST-45 racers, being able to fabricate the correct tool is far more practical than trying to locate an original factory tool years later.
The SST-45 gearcase contains precision-fit bearings, shafts, seals, gears, and machined surfaces.
Trying to substitute punches, screwdrivers, generic pullers, or improvised shop tools can result in damage to:
Once a machined surface or housing is damaged, a straightforward rebuild can become a much more expensive repair.
Using a tool built to the proper dimensions helps apply force and support in the intended location.
The specialty tools referenced in the repair manual may be used during procedures involving:
The exact tool required depends on the procedure being performed.
This manual is not only useful for racers and mechanics.
It is also valuable when working with a machinist who may not be familiar with SST-45 racing gearcases.
Instead of trying to explain what a specialty tool should look like from memory, the manual gives the machinist the dimensions and reference information needed to fabricate the tool to the proper specification.
That can make communication easier and reduce trial-and-error fabrication.
This manual is especially useful for:
Many specialty tools used for older racing gearcases can become difficult to locate over time.
Original tools may be:
Having the actual tool specifications gives racers and mechanics another option: simply reproduce the tool when needed.
That can be especially important for keeping older SST-45 racing equipment serviceable for years to come.
At Liquid Revolutions, we know that the SST-45 gearcase is a specialized piece of racing equipment and that proper service often requires more than standard marine hand tools.
The SST-45 Gear Case Specialty Tool Specifications Manual gives racers and builders the information needed to reproduce the tools called for in the repair manual, making it easier to properly service and rebuild these lower units.
Whether you’re building a complete SST-45 gearcase service setup, replacing a missing tool, or working with a machinist to reproduce one, this manual provides the specifications needed to get started.
