1976 CB550F1 (what have I let myself in for) Project
eight0:
Preparing to get parts together to tackle the bottom end.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a list of tools I'll need to take it apart?
I guess I'll need a blind bearing puller.
The rotor removal tool
I have a telescopic magnet thing for the dowels etc

What about the case bearings? Don't you need a blind puller/slide hammer for those?
Bryanj:
You dont need a puller for the primary shaft, remove the oil pump and use a soft drift on the end of the shaft you can see. As to the rotor, before i bought the correct tools i used to take the crank to my local Honda dealer and give him a few pounds to just pull the rotor. Dave Silver sells the genuine Honda tool which pulls all Honda rotors for about £40 from memory and i think he does a pattern one as well cheaper.
I find the cross shaped ones easier to use than just the bolt ones.

Thanks for the tips guys.
Sounds like I don't need any fancy tools really. I'll try the rear wheel spindle trick, I saw someone on Youtube doing that on a CB650.
I've bought some parts organisers, a fresh box of freezer bags and some JIS impact bits so I should be good to go.
No doubt I'll have more questions. I'll post pics as I go.
Sending the frame, tank and seat off next week for paint/powder which is exciting.
Bryanj:
Ive never had one that tight and always have brass rod of assorted sizes in toolbox, sorry not brass Admiralty Bronze and no im not saying where from!
