thinking it through Bryan it will make no differance if the sprocket carrier is in place or just the steel retianer ring - same force on the same part when knocking the bearing in - I'll make sure I've warmed the housing up first.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Nice warm day so decided to finish fitting the rear wheel bearings this afternoom, new bearing had been in the freezer in a zip lock bag for a few days, heated the hub center up with an old hair dryer - they knocked in without difficulty using my drift tool. Center spacer held in position with piece of plasic pipe. so it's all good for when the axle is fitted nicely aligned.
Fitted all new drive cushion rubbers into the slots with a very light coat of red rubber grease, D ring fitted using same grease.
Greased hub center it pushed in by hand but not fully home for the last 2 or 3 mm.
Not sure if it should go flush by hand or if the retainer has to pull it fully home?
I don't want to force it at this stage so have left it for tonight - tea & beer reward.
It might be worth pulling it out to check the D ring is okay - I fitted it as it came I did not turn the D ring inside out.
My rear hub tool for the left hand threaded retainer does not seem to want to fit on the new retainer ring but it fits the old one perfectly wtf is going on here?
It's a DS retainer ring.
Update Fresh day, removed the hub, D ring was undamaged, used some extra grease, it went in easier just needed to tighten the retainer ring to pull it home the last few mm. I used the old retainer as my tool fits this. No big leverage needed on the retainer just screwed in easily.
Just need to decide what to do to about the poor fit of the new retainer in the tool - two pegs line up nicely but the fourth just does not engage by hand - I'm reluctant to hammer the tool to make it fit!
Could it be the DS retainer ring or is it the tool?

Do you mean this retainer and tool Ted?
If so, I recently bought the tool and an aftermarket retainer from a different supplier and the tool didn’t fit correctly, as you can see. When I contacted them, they checked their stock and found the new batch of retainers didn’t fit the tool but the original Honda retainers did. They sent me a genuine Honda one as a replacement which was fine. I wonder if DSS has the same issue?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've contacted the tool provider who supply the same tool to DS. It appears that the supplier for the retainers were the issue. I've been offered some turned down pins as an option for my tool. I will contact DS and see if they can supply a better part.
The rear tool is a different design to the front one.
The 500 retainer has a different pitch circle so my 400 tool is too small, on the 500 it also holds the rear drive hub in place.
Update DS have tried their tool in the three retainers they have on the shelf - one does not fit the tool. They will not send me a replacement part until they have recived my part back and tried it in their tool!
