CB500/550 / Re: Rear wheel rotation stiffens up when tightening axle problem.« Last post by davidcumbria on May 09, 2024, 11:26:04 PM »In concept, the inner race of the bearings form one complete tube along with the other bits mounted onto the axle, tightening should clamp all those elements tight together in one continuous load path.Thanks for that helpful clarification. I remember now what the issue was on a front wheel. After shouldering the first bearing continued driving inward of the the outer race of the non shouldering second bearing using a socket jams the the inner race against the separating tube and introduces side load by pushing the outer race further inward. It’s a matter of feel to decide when to stop since there is no shouldering of the outer race. So to get a free spinning bearing I had to pull it out slightly again. When tightening the spindle with its spacers fixed length of the inner race assembly prevents excessive inward movement of the outer race. 33

I just hope the engine starts & runs as my 400 does. It's my forever bike so not worried that it cost around £2k more to rebuild than my 400. I've pretty much bought all my parts to finish the project.
Never say never but this is probably my last project. I'm keeping my first born - my 400, between the two I should always have a runner as long as I'm able to ride a bike. 34

After chatting to Ken on reflection I obviously did not fit the right side bearing fully home. The 500 has that short extra spacer that fits into the left bearing as well as the long center spacer. Make sure you fit the short spacer fully home into the fixed left side bearing before you fit it. 40
