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?
That looks like a 400 hub , the 500 has a different sized pitch circle for the tool fitting so you need a different spanner. The lock ring also holds the rear drive hub in place as the drive cushions are a different design.
