1976 Honda CB550F · Fork seal & cap tools Buying guide
The two tools engage different parts of the assembly. Compare the driver size with the fork and the wrench size with the installed cap, particularly when the motorcycle has replacement forks or custom caps.
The split carbon-steel driver is sized for 35 or 36 mm forks and includes the CB550F’s 35 mm application. Identify the actual fork assembly before ordering for a converted front end. The motorcycle’s original model year does not establish the diameter or tool engagement of a later replacement fork.
The wrench fits a stated 24 mm cap hex and is described as non-marring. That size is not the fork tube diameter or cap thread. Inspect the installed cap before selection, especially after an aftermarket-cap change, and use the correct service procedure when working with a cap under spring load.
Fork tube diameter and cap hex size are different measurements. The featured driver fits 35/36 mm forks; the cap wrench fits a 24 mm hex. Measure the installed cap before choosing a wrench instead of transferring the fork diameter to the tool size.
Confirm that cap’s hex is compatible with a 24 mm wrench. The tool’s original-style CB550F application does not establish the size of every billet or replacement cap. Compare the actual cap and its tool engagement before ordering.
It is described for 35 or 36 mm conventional or inverted forks. Confirm the replacement assembly’s actual diameter and the driver’s engagement for that seal-installation job. A conversion needs its own measurements, not an assumption based on the CB550F model label.
