1975 Honda CB500T Front Disc, Rear Drum, and Clutch
The 1975 CB500T uses a front disc and a rear drum, plus a clutch with seven friction plates. Match the Kevlar pad pair to the two face sizes, the shoe pair to the drum, and order steel plates only after you count them.

Tell the disc, the drum, and the clutch stack apart
Front pads are one Kevlar set of two, sized 52 x 20mm and 52 x 12.8mm. Rear shoes are a set of two for the drum. Each clutch friction plate is a single piece, and this model uses seven.
The rear shoe set does not say it includes springs. Shoe springs are their own set of two under OEM 43151-346-000. A hose, a bleed screw, a lever pivot, and the master-cylinder boot are separate pieces too. Replace the worn pad, shoe, or plate first, then only the hardware that failed.
Do not borrow a CB750 steel count
The steel drive plate replaces OEM 22321-MG8-000 and 22321-283-000, and you order it by the piece. That text gives six steels for a 1969-75 CB750K and five for several later CB750s, then names the CB500T with no steel count. Count the steels you removed. Seven applies to the friction plates.
Pads, shoes, or clutch plates?
How do I tell the front pads from the rear shoes?
Front pads are a Kevlar set of two, 52 x 20mm and 52 x 12.8mm, under OEM 45105-323-023 and the paired 45106 numbers. Rear shoes are a set of two for the drum under OEM 43120-283-670.
Why is seven a friction number but not a steel number?
Each friction plate is one piece under OEM 22201-MA7-000, and a 1975-76 CB500T uses seven. The steel drive plate is one piece too, but no CB500T steel count is given. Figures of five or six in that text are for the CB750 years named there.
When do I need the master kit or the caliper ring?
Order the Kevlar pad set when the disc friction is worn. Order the piston sealing ring, OEM 45108-300-003, when the caliper seal is leaking. Order the Japan-made master kit, OEM 45530-377-305, when you are resealing the Honda front master named for this CB500T.
