1972 Honda CB500K · Fork & Suspension Tools Buying guide
This carbon-steel split driver is described for installing seals on the stated fork sizes. Compare the actual installed diameter, especially after a fork swap, and keep replacement seals and hardware separate from the tool purchase.
The driver lists 35mm forks for CB500K 1971–73 and also covers 36mm applications in its general description. If different forks have been installed, identify their specification before choosing the tool. A motorcycle year cannot establish the diameter of parts that a previous owner has replaced.
The tool description names a split carbon-steel driver, not replacement seals, O-rings or fork tubes. Determine the worn parts and follow the appropriate fork service information when planning the work. The driver’s application helps select a tool; it does not define every replacement part or procedure needed for that repair.
It is specified for 35mm and 36mm fork seals. The CB500K appears under the 35mm application, so identify a swapped fork’s actual requirement before choosing the tool from the original motorcycle model.
Yes. Both layouts are listed when they use the driver’s compatible 35mm or 36mm seal application. Confirm that size on the fitted assembly; the conventional-or-inverted description does not extend compatibility to every fork diameter.
The tool applies installation force evenly around the seal to reduce cocking or damage. Its carbon-steel split design is intended for that controlled seal-installation job, providing a specific reason to choose it for the matching fork size.
