Ill have to dig my vice out from the garage. I didn't think of clamping the bearing. I didn't want to damage it too much but I think that's the only way. 23

It has the three lugs similar to those on the old sealed beam headlights. I fitted a Land Rover Defender 90 type LED headlamp unit but pretty much any old style 7" headlamp will fit. 25

I don't think the bearing first over the collar? The collar seems to be bigger than the bearing. Its the collar that I cant seem to remove. I've not tried heating it up yet, I'm going to try later. 26

CB500/550 / Headlight reflector« Last post by DomP on Today at 06:26:01 PM »Is a CB550 and 750 reflector the same? Mine on my 550 is a Stanley 001-1217 but a previous owner has fitted a strange bulb that has meant they've used an oil seal to hold it in place. Can I retro fit an H4 Led to it?

CB350/400 / Re: Transmission output shaft bearing removal« Last post by Laverda Dave on Today at 05:15:24 PM »I would be tempted to get some local heat onto the spacer (not the shaft itself) followed by some gentle taps with a suitable thin and flat wooden wedge GENTLY inserted between the spacer and the bearing going slowly all the way round, these things usually let go with heat and gentle persuasion. If the wooden wedge doesn’t work get that old flat blade screwdriver out that you use to stir paint with! Good Luck.
