Aftermarket Honda REAR WHEEL BEARING RETAINING TOOL http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/WHEEL-BE...-81-02-XL250-72-76-MR250-CR250M-/300886950289 To tighten the thread would be the opposite to the direction of forward wheel travel
thanks for that..i already have a tool ..that one doesnt fit the 79-81 xl250 but you still need to drill or press in the side holes? thats the part im stuck on
Bearings are a servicable part so u would think its just unscrew the retainer, knock out the bearing etc etc..... A drill and a wheel hub/bearing dont sound like a good combo to me. Maybe a couple of pics to show the area/holes you are refering to?
yeah, im only going by other threads ive read , maybe its a honda thing? http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=48414.msg537747#msg537747
