Top tip on the red rubber grease. Rubber gasket staying in place now.
The bolts for the rocker cover are a mixture of all sorts, and thread on one is suspect.
Planning to get a set of new. Can anyone recommend a supplier? I see Nurse Julie got a full set from  Yamiya but I only need the rocker cover bolts. Cheers H
You can buy the bolts individually from Yamiya as well as the complete kits. It doesn't work out a bad price really, even taking post / duties etc in to account. Maybe worth a thought.

Absolutely right TSD   But the original question was which side the nut should be Sprocket or Brake And assuming theres room it won't matter which way its fitted The spindle type i have is with chrome end with use of tommy bar and wrong for the F2( although fits ) The F2 should be a long bolt type and seems Nut  side to sprocket There is confusion within the parts book showing nut to sprocket and  service manual showing nut to brake?? As i  have no idea what the previous owner has done Just asking for clarification of nut position

 The Honda service manual shows the nut sprocket side. 3 pages on which side to put a nut. Gotta smile. G ;Dood to tell its raining.  By the way my 350 spindle has tommy bar end and I have the nut on the brake side because I am a rebel. ;D
Haha Chris, very true, must be the weather. But, saying that, its always interesting listening, learning or being reminded of something, it keeps the old grey matter buzzing and saves me doing housework 😊

Picking my words carefully  My rear wheel spindle measures from under the head a tad over 10.1/2 inches Approx Just under 27cm
My type measures about the same Ross. Got the measurement as close as I could but, difficult as its.fitted to the bike and i dont fancy taking it out today 😊😊😊

What is it? / Re: mystery object in the oil?

It's the chain oiler adjuster and shouldn't be in the bottom of the engine as where it fits has a filter screen under it so it can't go anywhere. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Just had a look at DSS and they list two types  The type i have (chrome end for tommy bar ) is for the  F & F1  The long bolt type Julie has is the correct type / style for the F2 Although the parts manual lists this as fitting F & F2 So i guess they are interchangeable as the bearings are the same for both   Ross
I wonder if  both types are the same length overall Ross? Would be interesting to know just out of curiosity really. But, as you say, they both fit and do the job and that's all that matters.

Yours is an interesting bike Michael, being an early one by registration but with the frame mounted foot pegs. I know there was a time when the early ones which normally had the swing arm mounted pegs, had the later frame mounted ones but I cant remember where exactly in the production that was (I also have mushy brain syndrome).
Edit....had to look it up 🙄🙄🙄 1976 model year went to frame mounted foot pegs but was still in the early colours, ie Light Ruby Red and Varnish blue. Also had a locking fuel cap fitted from 76. So still an F model....not the F1 model.

Oh Yeh, just one more thing, when purchasing a hydraulic bike lift, temper one's enthusiasm and measure the length of the platform first!!!!! As you can see, rear wheel fitting gets very interesting, hence the need for our beloved NHS!

Who's right and Who's wrong That is the question???  lol  TrickyMicky has an early 400 with footrests on the arm and his spindle is the same as mine His arm are closed ends Mine are open end  So maybe i have the early style spindle with later style arm !!!!! Parts catalogue shows both type arms but only one type spindle?Don't know why ??
Just been looking in to this Ross. Both you and I have F2's which have the open ended swing arm, which we both have. Up to VIN number 1065686 (so a lot earlier than ours) they had the spindle with the big chrome end on, with the hole, which is the one you have I assume. This style was a hangover from the CB350/4's of earlier years. After the above VIN, they fitted the fixed bolt type, like I have fitted on mine and what you should have fitted on yours. Why Michael has a closed end swing arm, I have no idea as all 400's were manufactured with the open end type, again, a hangover from the CB350/4. I'm sure it makes no odds which is fitted really as long as it does the job.

So you can still insert a tommy bar without fouling the exhaust??  Or was the wheel fitted then the exhaust
Not sure you have the correct spindle for a 400/4 then. If you look at my photos, you can see the spindle is a fixed nut on the end. You don't need a tommy bar or screwdriver to put in a hole, as there is no hole. It sounds like you have a 550/750 style spindle with the big round chrome end on it and not the nut end like mine.

I'm not saying mine is correct being inserted from the brake side by the way 😊😊 What I'm saying is that I can see why I put mine in that way, purely because there is not enough clearance for it against the silencer if I had put it in from the other way.

Even David Silver puts it in same way as me 🤣🤣🤣

Just found in Haynes manual page 97 section 7-1 It states Pull out the spindle with the drive side adjuster and spacer As Trickymicky states would make it difficult fitting a tommy bar to assist removal
Yes Ross, it does say that, it also says that's for the CB500 closed fork ends 🤔
