Where can I get this tool from?

[Mr Revhead]

Hi Guys!

Am working on my CX500 and am up to wheel bearings.
The Comstars these had use a retainer on one side to hold the bearings in.
It's soft alloy and has for slots in it to undo.

I need a tool like No.C7024

Does anyone know where I can get one in NZ within a few days? TE says 6 weeks....
I can wait that long if need be. But 'd prefer it a bit sooner!

Any ideas?

That looks pretty straight forward to make. If you don't have access to machining gear, what about a piece of pipe and a hacksaw.

A made one might have worked before I used a not quite the right tool on it :facepalm:

Don't be dumb... Or lazy...Use Google... your just being needy or wanting attention.

[Mr Revhead]

Hey norog, there's one now!
Well I have used google, gone too 2 local bike shops and one engineering shop (who asked the importer for me)
Thought I might ask on a biker forum where people get there bike tools from as I thought maybe there would be guys who tinker on their bikes and like to own tools. Or maybe even a forum sponsor who supplies tools I could get one off etc.
If I'm doing a job on a vehicle of mine and need a tool I like to buy one so I have it for the future.

In a pinch, a carefully applied drift and hammer can work OK, don't try this if you are impatient or stupid.

[Mr Revhead]

Hehe refer to my earlier post about using the not quite right tool.
The retainer is soft alloy and is staked. So tapping it with a flat punch and hammer just rounded off one of the slots.
Option 2 was actually an adjustable grinder tool. Fitted perfectly, and even undid it 1/2 a turn, but because it was adjustable it kept slipping and did more damage.
So then I decided to stop dicking about and get a proper tool before I really screwed it up.

I needed the same for retainer on my '72 CB750 wheel. I took advice from the Honda SOHC forum and made it myself. Piece of hollow metal tube, drilled 2 holes and put a bolt thru each hole, fitted a nut to secure each to the tube..leaving 4-5mm of bolt head exposed to bite into the groove on the alloy retainer...the bolts need to be good size fit. Push down and turn. Took a few tries. Also you may as I did - have a "stake" which will prevent the retainer from turning until it is removed. In my case the stake was a teeny metal insert like a toothpick - just able to see it. I had to drill that through before I could spin the retainer out. I did some damage to the slots - so I had a new retainer on hand for the refit.

Yes thats the tool suggested in my manual. Just found out a new retainer is easily available so will use a tool like that to install.

Helpful post.
I have to say that 12 hours on from my first post I'm not overly enthralled with the manner of the average poster here.
All other forums I participate in people are there due to a shared interest and actually enjoy helping out the new guys etc.
Even if the question at first seems simple to an experienced hand.

Then fuck off back to them then.

don't ask such stupid questions that one Google search can answer.
It just makes you look like an lazy arsed attention seeker.

fuckhead.

[Katman]

Any bike shop should be able to get one through W White Wholesale.

Part number BS4008.

It's not a spanner type but a socket type that fits on a ratchet.

Thank you! I will try that. Both bike shops I went to locally said "we don't do tools" :rolleyes:

edit: amazingly both the bike shops I went to are listed as dealers on the Whites page...

[BoristheBiter]

Oi, fucktard. Read what I said.

I did.
Post still stands,

Did you even do a Google search?

[bogan]

Might be a bit huckory, but often a socket of the right size, and an angle grider to trim tabs into it makes a suitable tool for cheap, and quickly.

So does his, you're still being a fucktard.

[Mr Revhead]

Cheers bogan.
An excise to whip out the power tools is always a welcome option.

That whites is a good site. Being new to bikes I'm not sure yet what the good suppliers are

I reckon a must have tool for bike spannering are a set of T-bars; apart from that, I think most other bike specific gear is used so infrequently the quality isn't such an issue.

That whites is a good site.

If you have no luck with through Whites, then try Repco. They are now agents for those Bike Service tools imported by Tridon NZ.

[Mr Revhead]

Awesome
Thanks for those links and suggestions guys. Will add to my favourites.

For any that are interested, there is an error on their site and BS4008 is actually 42mm. BS4009 however fits perfectly and had it off in seconds. :Punk:
