Rear hub seized, can’t get to cush drive.

Murf:
I was just about to remove the retaining ring on mine this afternoon when I noticed that it is staked on all of the four parts you can see.  I generally just drill any staking I come across with a small drill just to clear it, do you think that will work on this. 
Then I guess it’s off to make yet another special tool to remove the retaining ring.

Good to know about it being a left hand thread, the arrow on mine is not really distinguishable any more, it’s  just a faint line now.

Bryanj:
Yes, small drill and drill out the stakings

As has been said the 500 is left hand thread on the rear retainer, the 400 is a normal RH thread.

Oddjob:
Quite a few members have the special tool needed to remove the retainer, maybe give out your location and see if anyone is local to you that can help out.
