Put up a pic of yours and i will compare it to a new 500 one i have(sizes would be good too)

Wouldn't it be the same part number?

Bryanj:
No, the original 500/750 was greased by a nipple at each end of the long bolt feeding greas direct to a scroll on the outer surface of the collar, later ones had only 1 nipple screwed into swing arm and you had to fill cross tube of swing arm with grease before it got to a radial groove on the collar.
Dimensionally the colkars were identical but visually very different and for some reason Honda obsoleted the later one

Having had some PM advice I've decided to see how it goes as the wear is very slight - re-asses when in situ.
