1976 cb400F generator rotor puller size

DayvW:
Excellent - thanks Oddjob - but wouldnt the extension bar damage the conrod eye - or am I needlessly worrying (I guess I must be if you've used this technique)?

steven400/4:
bit of heat few small taps and off it comes

DayvW:
Yeah - I'll try the heat too - right now it's on solid - so if the heat doesnt help then it'll need quite a bit of leaning on (or thumping) which is always a tad worrying of course ...

DayvW:
Thanks oddjob, I'll try that .. Plus use a bit of heat and see how that goes.  If that fails I have just bought a compressor, I figured it was going to be pretty useful in general if only for blowing away stuff initially, but an air gun feels a good investment! I saw that David silvers tool and found a laser one on machine mart that looks pretty much the same, it includes an m181.5r puller. Can't comment on quality, but is less than half the price.  Mind you, rear axle bolt is even cheaper if that works .. Though as over time I want to tackle many bikes I think a puller is a useful addition to toolbox.

Hi,
I can certainly recommend Laser stuff - I bought an ABS rotor nut tool of theirs for my Jag XJ8, it was £24 plus post as opposed to the Jag one at £155!!  It looks and performs exactly as the Jag one  - good materials and workmanship. 
I checked my rear wheel spindle on the 400 and it's smaller than the alternator rotor thread - so perhaps the bigger bikes spindle might fit, but that thread size is available if you can source a bolt.
