CB550 Oil Filter Bolt Removal
Mike_Berkshire:
Thanks for all the great tips - that bolt extractor kit only £28.99 on Amazon; seems like a bargain so I have gone for one of those. I wont try and do anything more with the bolt until I get the engine out so I can get at it properly; its going to be a fun weekend! Cheers all. Mike

Be interesting to see how you get on with it - looks great bit of kit - how did I ever manage without one in the past?
Please let us know how effective it is Mike when it arrives and you do the magic.

I have had such a kit for a couple of year after a recommendation from my car garage mechanic and it has worked well for me. I used it to remove the casing gallery plug under the crankshaft of my 550 which had been completely rounded off by po. The harder you turn the more it bites in - got me out of a couple of scrapes.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I only have one that I bought for a particular use - flank drive ring spanner they avoid rounding off bolt heads.
I would like a set but price is daft money - this is a used set!

As interesting alternative Ted
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390062925510 these are flank drive and very low profile ratchet head for access.
Another point for interest (I've already had an alternative manufacturer set like this) is that they make extremely good plug spanner setup for these 4 cylinder Honda engines, with the "pass through " arrangement being able to use the extension and a socket to drop over the plug .... being hollow, both item ... to make very useful reach and access for those two central plugs.
You'd need to check that plug facility yourself though as mine is a different make (now not available) Bahco also owned by SO too.
