Next Question! 500 Sprocket Carrier
Erny:
Exactly. Good point. So no other chance just to disassemble it.

Can you get a "slide hammer hub puller" onto the studs, that would then tap it out if it's seized in the metal bearing.

I tired, but gave up as it was not absolutely necessary

There's also a flip side to this if it's seized, it will give a very hard time to the primary drive system inside the engine and particularly the chain.
Relates to your other thread about engine noise Erny.

I could not agree with you more. There are two shock absorbers on the 500/550, one is the primary drive rubbers and the second is the cush drive rubbers. These are always hard on USA bikes and old UK units which effects all the drive parts as it is all connected.
Even if the bush area on the hub is dry it will not do its job and put more stress on the engine parts.
When i build a bike, the engine always gets new primary chain and rubbers. The bike is always given new chain and sprockets, the rear wheel has new bearings and cush rubbers. This makes all the parts last a lot longer than just changing only one or two parts. Skimping always costs more in the long run and can cause more problems :o

If parts are worn, IF, I'd expect play sideways. My drive flange was seriously worn. I was much helped by Oddjob. I have documented it here: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=150358.0 Just skip that post by SoyBoySigh posted there. He's nuts.

Takes me back.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Hubs with some random rants thrown in.
He’s not been around in a while, would you like me to delete it/them. Or maybe just move them onto a self publishing platform
