CB350/400 / Crankcase Oil Gallery Plug B« on: April 28, 2022, 05:44:40 PM »
Does anyone have a spare oil plug from a 400/4 on the points side. Part number 15332-300-000 called 'cap B, oil path in parts manual please. I've googled for it but it seems unobtainable from partzilla, CNSL, DS etc.

Many thanks for the replies folks, I'll have a look at 400fourbits website, luckily only need to replace one 😉

Apologies for the confusion, it's not actually numbered in the parts manual, but I believe Bryan is right! It's the V shaped spring that sits on the main jet.

I tried to clear it all out but it was too far down into the fluid ways, how they bleed the brakes I have no idea. My first thoughts when I saw the missing nipple was, not a problem drill out the old one best I can, stud extractor to remove what was let, not a problem, recut the threads, how wrong I was. Jeez, that sounds like a PITA 😀 8

Cheers Ted - one giant step for man and all that! Front fork rebuild next whilst some parts go to the sandblaster. But still looking for bits that were missing 😀 9

Once again thanks for all the advice and comments. The pop when it finally came out was very satisfying, but it put up a hell of fight! 😀

Moorey, that's exactly my thoughts, so I got the Dremel out with a fine bit and that sorted it. Thanks everyone for your advice and comments. The caliper is now sat in evaporust overnight and I'll check it's condition tomorrow. I also drilled a small hole in the piston so I could free it with a drift, which worked a treat. 13
CB350/400 / Re: Seized brake piston« on: November 27, 2021, 11:13:57 AM »This has never failed for me. I had considered drilling and tapping the piston or trying to weld a bolt to it. Unfortunately I'm all out of old coins and my brazing is worse than my welding 😀 14
CB350/400 / Re: Seized brake piston« on: November 27, 2021, 11:08:24 AM »Ive never had the grease gun fail, but then i do use the air one at work, also you can get a caliper complete with with mounting, bolts, adjuster and pads from amazon for about £66. Put cb 500 caliper into the amazon search but scroll down as there are several and prices vary a lot, if you leave out the bracket i saw one at £51 Bryan, if all else fails that'll be my final option Cheers 15
