For what it's worth, I have 400 with fixed rear footrests, closed ends swinging arm. Nut is on RH (brake) side, when assembling, push spindle through from sprocket side and when enough thread is showing start turning nut and use this to pull rest of spindle through. On the spindle I am using at the sprocket end it has a hole whereby you can use a small tommy bar/screwdriver to hold the spindle while you tighten the nut, would not be able to use this if it was at brake end. Little bit of care needed when inserting split pin into castrated wheel nut. Sorry Julie, but speaking as one who made an absolute pig's breakfast once of trying to fit shox that were too long, that's when everything fouls up. Always carefully measure between fixing centres of shox before trying to fit, can't give proper measurement at moment, as it's absolutely precipitating down outside, and the pizza and beer are ready. Regards, Michael.
Agree Michael. My shocks are spot on the original length so everything is sitting where it should be as far as levels and clearances are concerned. But, although I can see its very easy to insert spindle from the nearside, making the nut on the off side by the brake, I cant see how this is possible with the silencer in the way, if a standard exhaust system is fitted, there us just not enough clearance available 🤔🤔🤔

Sounds like you're doing a great job Mike.

I don't think you will get the nut on the brake side. If you look at the pics, the spindle sticks out a lot more on the nut end than the other end. If you turn the spindle round, the silencer will foul the end of the spindle and you won't be able to get the nut on if you have a standard exhaust system fitted.

Scrap that..my 400 does have an open end swing arm 🙄🙄🙄🙄 So, it doesn't matter which way the spindle goes in. (I was looking at the wrong bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

I'm just wondering if the shop manual, being combined general 350/400, (but with the 400 supplement at the back) shows the 350 set up which has the 4 into 4 exhaust 🤔. Does the 350 have an open end swing arm? Also just noticed that if I put my 400 on the center stand, then I can't get the spindle out as not enough clearance over the silencer 😪

Bloody weird....I have just looked at my CB400/4 (standard closed end swing arm) and my nut is on the sprocket side but, I can still get my spindle out as I have a standard exhaust system fitted and there is enough clearance over the silencer to pull the spindle out with the exhaust still fitted. My shocks are also standard length, anything shorter than standard, I don't think there would be enough clearance to pull the spindle through.

Nut on brake side because to remove the rear wheel, you would have to remove exhaust to get the spindle out if it was on 'tother side. I have a little lateral play on my rear sprocket as well (Thinner pattern part). Both wheel spacers are different sizes, make sure you get the correct one on the correct side. The longer of the 2 goes on the brake side.

Try it on a CB400 /500 or 550, you will be swearing a lot more fitting them than on a CB750 Phil 🤣🤣🤣

Basics to check...depending on what parts you removed......have you bench synced them and have you adjusted the fast idle adjuster as per the manual?
