Cb750f rear caliper
Snednil:
Evening all,
Appreciate a little advice if anyone can help....
Rear disc is sticking on caliper so either something in wrong place or missing!!
Hopefully pic below will help....

Have you replaced the wheel bearings? If the disc is touching the caliper, it is possible that the wheel bearing on the caliper side of the shell has not been tapped fully home, resulting in the retainer ring not screwing home quite as far as it should, which in turn allows the disc to be located incorrectly in relation to the caliper.

Looking at the picture I strongly suspect that hairy is bang on the money with his analysis..

Adding to this, try doing the axle nut up with a big enough spanner, if the wheel bearing is not fully home this will push it into place by squeezing the the whole assembly.

I wouldn't advise the last suggestion as the spacer will be pressing on the inner race, which may well damage it. Safest to remove the wheel and bearing locking ring, then with a drift or large socket tap the OUTSIDE race home to its shoulder, then replace locking ring and refit the wheel, problem should be gone.
