That’s it all boxed up now.

New bearings and oil seal, new Cush drive rubbers with red rubber grease. Only mistake I made was the bushing that the oil seal runs on. I thought it slid in once the sprocket and cover were fitted but found this to be wrong when I tried to remount the wheel on the bike. Had to remove the bearing retainer and fit the bush from the inside. All good now.

Thanks for help along the way.

Did you remember to grease the metal sleeving where the sprocket carrier sits, it will wear away if you haven't.

Oh yes indeedy. Aqualube, the best out door, harsh environment grease, I’ve ever used offshore and at sea.

The sun came out, briefly, got out on the bike. I didn’t think the Cush drive rubbers were bad, but changed them anyway seeing as how I’d already bought them. What a difference. Much smoother ride now. Well pleased.

So do you pack the area behind the sprocket retainer where the bush lives with Grease Oddjob? Or just smear grease on the mating surfaces? (I’m not yet that familiar with the 500 rear hub as I’ve always got other to service them for me, but will need to be soon :-) ).
