Spoke Removal

The nipples on my spokes on my CB wont budge!....any tips on getting them out so I can use them or am I wasting my time....pretty tight budget so I am trying to re-use them...don't have the money right now for a new set

Well, they are threaded like any other bolt / nut. Penetrating oil (not WD-40) , heat, etc will work.

Get the propper wrench and take your time once you get a few loose the rest will be cake grab the spoke close the the nipple with vice grip so they dont break and as always rich is correct

Thanks guys....will give it another go today...

Well I got them out..only one snapped....anyone got a spoke and nipple for a CB 350F.....

I just threw out a bunch of ugly ones, sorry. But you need to mention whether the spokes are front or rear wheel, inner or outer spokes. You have 4 different spokes on that bike.

Also, the spokes are available from the dealer. About $3-$4 each. I wouldn't buy a set from the dealer, but I'd gt one if that was all that was needed.

Even better, you can get spoke sets for about $40....But I am assuming you are trying to save $$.

its an 18" rear....inside
