Quote from: philward on October 24, 2020, 09:25:32 AMGreat explanation and advice everybody - I always change cush drive rubbers normally (which is why I was trying to get sprocket carrier off). Now I have to figure out how to get it off! If the seizure is between the inner vertical face of the sprocket carrier and the hub centre (where the cush drive rubber nipples stick through into the brake area)? Is that where I should apply heat?K2-K6 - no, unfortunately I haven't got access to a slide hammer but will make some kind of jigJust looled at schematics and see now the area of seizure and hence where to apply the heat.Ironically (and don't shout at me!) I think I threw a spocket carrier away (I think, as I can't find it in the shed) that may have been off a 500 - as I built the CR750 Rep from parts and bought a sprocket carrier that by the time I got round to fitting it, realised it wasn't for a 750 but didn't know what bike it was for - was kicking around for years in the shed and got naffed of with all the mess in the shed so sold and binned loads of parts last year - hindsight!

I have the sprocket cover Graham - just re-zinc'ed it yesterday
At risked being called a blasphemist, but... if mine were stuck, hm, I might leave it as it is. Surely, I'll miss some (minor) damping, but aren't there a lot of bikes out there, that lack this damping there altogether? I mean, look it from the bright side: your rear wheel will be a lot easier to balance dynamically than standard (practically impossible). Never understood why Honda designed it this way. Has the same design been applied on other Honda's?
