CB550 refurb

<< < (19/52) > >>

Sesman:
You do indeed, and I’d recommend renewing the seals. What I was very poorly alluding to was if you don’t have the special tool, leave the rotor on, split the cases then ease the rotor off with aid of a rubber hammer, applying judicious blows. Not ideal, but it works for me. You do need to be careful though as over enthusiastic blows will create problems. If in doubt I’d recommend buying or borrowing the rotor extractor tool.

I have a universal puller might be able to do something with that, I also remember something about a car wheel stud being of size, maybe it was a commercial one? Important to protect crankshaft thread though.

Bryanj:
DO NOT use a 3 legged universal puller as you will wreck the rotor and crank

Johnny4428:
No problem Bryan!

Johnny4428:
Just looked back on forum, car stud 16 x 1.5mm will do the job, or similar bolt.
