1975 Honda CB360 Brat style - Growing Up

To reply to Tim

The other side of the bearing is flat/flush like every other bearing I have seen. Only the one side has the extra spacer/reducer.
 
BTW, you can throw the Clymer POS manual in the trash along w the old bearings.

Ya perhaps I will install the new bearings. I just hope that I can press them in there far enough to squeeze the centre collar/spacer. I was just going over the schematic for the rear wheel and it does highlight the small extra "distance collar" as part of that bearing. I couldn't get that thing out for the life of me. It appears to be part of the bearing.

As for the Clymer manual. I haven't even touched it. Its been sitting on my bench as it came with the bike. I have the manuals already downloaded onto my computer. Thanks for the link though.

This is the little guy I am looking for. It is pressed into the old bearing so hard that I can't get it out. I will try again tomorrow.

The few spots online that I have been searching for a new one all appear to be out of stock. Does anyone know where I can get a new one? I need this little piece to properly fit the bearing to the rear axle. If I don't have it there will be massive play/space between the axle and the bearing.
 
BS, you can see the spacer in the pic.
Beat it out and dress it up with a file if you need to.
You need something to support bearing outside of spacer while your beating on it
It doesn't just act as a spacer, it also locates axle central in hub
You need a drift slightly smaller than ID of new bearing and a tube to fit OD of spacer. It may be a tight fit but isn't part of bearing
 
I dont ever recall seeing that on any post.

After seeing the pic of it fitting inside the bearing race. definitely YES. You need it otherwise the axel wont fit properly.

run it down to a local machine shop first thing. they will probably press it right out and fit it in the new one pretty quickly. like 5 minutes.
 
Thanks PJ

I will definitely get on that thing with a drift tomorrow. Can I support it with a vice or could that possibly damage it? When I manage to get the thing out, is it just pressed into the new bearing? Or should it be greased first?
 
A press is the way to go w that. It will need to, both, come out and go in, perfectly straight.
 
Just open vice enough for spacer to fit between jaws.
I've never used a press to remove one although I do have a stepped drift to fit center and edge.
Your changing bearing so damaging that doesn't matter
 
If you have a socket or something that will fit inside bearing race and still give good contact on bushing. then yes, you could open vice enough to span the bushing. and drive it out using socket and mallet.

Installing it will be easier. make sure to support inner bearing race. lay a flat bar over bushing and tap it in the center. keep checking to make sure its driving in straight and square.
 
Should have guessed it was a stepped spacer. Be careful tapping it out as the wall of the material inside the bearing race will be pretty thin. But it should be pretty tough and if you can get a socket as trek suggests that fits perfectly inside the bearing you should be able to tap it out, supporting the bearing on both sides sitting on an open vice or drill a large hole in a 2 x 4, larger than the spacer to sit the bearing over.
 
Hey Guys. A little update. Got the bearings pressed and fit. New rims showed up from mikes. Relaced front and back wheels. I sent them off to the shop to be trued and have my new tires mounted. Further pics to follow.
