Installing new rear wheel bearings 75 K1 550

(1/2) > >>

Murf:

Following on from removing the Cush drive I decided to renew the wheel bearings because they did not feel great.
I have now got the new bearings and plan to install them next week.
On most Hondas I have worked on the wheel bearing on one side should be fully seated and the other bearing pressed in until it has light contact with the distance piece.  I have looked in the 550 manual and there is no mention of this, in fact very little information at all. 
So can anyone tell me which bearing should be put in first and fully seated.
Thanks
Bike is 75 K1 550.

Not sure if this helps its my 500 project should show you how I fitted the bearings.

Bryanj:
Fit the one with the retainer first

Murf:
Thanks for the help, I will get the bearings changed and hopefully get some time to start getting the rear end of the bike back together.

I like your tip about the slotted plastic tube for holding everything in line Ted, will definitely be using it, as they say  ‘every day is a school day’

I used push fit 15 mm type pipe iirc, it was a bit tight so I did a lengthways saw cut.
Perfect. fit
