Just in case you haven't spotted these on E-Bay yet.

Just spotted these. I was after getting the rear one made myself by someone but his ill health put a stop to that project.

Anyway seems like someone has done a very good job of producing a much needed tool.

And if you need the front one or like to complete the set

Picture seems to have stopped working on the auction but it looked a very nice tool of the same quality as the rear tool.


If anyone needs a NOS rear wheel bearing retainer for the 500/550 (as shown in the auction pic) I have just the one left now. PM me if interested

Is the front wheel bearing retainer a left hand thread like the rear? Sorry don't read manuals.
