CB350/400 / 5205HS transmission bearing
« on: May 24, 2024, 12:56:54 PM »
Possibly made a cock up. Ive been cleaning all the transmission gears, shafts etc and it looked like the 5205HS bearings are really stuck on. So I left them on and cleaned the parts with degreaser and petrol. Before cleaning they sounded perfectly find and didn't feel rough but now they are a bit noisy and don't feel as smooth. I'm not sure if I cocked up or its because they have no oil on/in them anymore. I've sprayed a bit of bulldog BDX penetrating oil/lube on them and they seem a bit better. Would they be safe to use or should I fork out the almost £100 for 2 new 5205HS bearings? Does anyone know any sources other than yamiya?
Should they be hard to get off? Are they pressed on?
