Topic: 82 cb450 what size magneto puller?

[fdbrat]

Hello. I'm working on an 82 cb450 nighthawk.

I need to know what size magneto puller I need.

I've searched Ebay but I'm getting results any where from 16mm to 20mm. Not sure which on I need.

And is it reverse thread?

if you google the factory tool part number you might find it fits a lot of bikes,when i was a kid a bought a genuine one for xr75 i still use,its fitted all my yammies aswell,it250/400/dt400 and a mates dt125,left hand thread i think about 22mm?

Hello Dave! Is that a positive. Or educated guess. Money is not my Forte.

I can't remember the size but I found a spare Honda axle with a thread that was the right size for pulling the flywheel off C92s/C95s. Do you have any spare axles lying around?

[dave500]

these pullers have a left hand thread,an axle wont work,look closely at the thread thats meant for the puller fdbrat,is it left hand?its fine,and will need a close look.

[fdbrat]

Ill give it further inspection.

Mmmmm, the old left hand thread trick.

Pretty sure I used my "generic" 18mm x 1.5 puller to do the last 450SC I did.  It's right hand thread.

I guess it's too easy to call your local Honda dealer?
