1981 Honda CB900C Custom · Bearing Retainer Tools Buying guide
The front tool uses a 1/2-inch drive opening. The rear tool has a 22mm hex and 3/8-inch square drive for its listed ring references; driver convenience does not establish engagement compatibility.
The rear tool is specified for retainers referencing 41231-286-000 and 41231-429-000. The front tool has its own retainer application and 1/2-inch drive. Compare the fitted ring before purchase; a shared wheel-service label does not make the tools interchangeable.
Honda shows separate front and rear bearing retainers, with the rear ring on the brake-disc side of the shaft-drive wheel. These tools engage the rings; they do not replace the equipment or procedure for extracting and installing bearings. Inspect the ring and hub threads before forcing a damaged retainer.
Its stated job is turning the rear bearing retainer ring. Honda separates that step from bearing removal and installation. Plan the additional equipment and bearing-service procedure for the shaft-drive rear wheel rather than relying on the ring tool alone.
No. The front tool has a 1/2-inch drive; the rear tool offers a 22 mm hex and 3/8-inch square drive. Those are driver connections, not ring-fit dimensions. Match the front or rear retainer engagement and inspect any replacement wheel before ordering.
No. It only provides the intended engagement for turning the ring. Assess damaged threads, distorted slots and the wheel condition before proceeding; forcing a damaged retainer can make the hub repair more difficult.
