Topic: Rear Bearing Removal Tool

Does Harbour freight carry a tool to remove rear wheel bearings on my CB750

I'm not sure if Harbor Freight makes a tool, but I just use a brass drift punch.

Maybe this would work? More expensive than a brass drift punch

Harbor freight doesn't have one that fits, but Amazon does.  It's an adjustable pin spanner. 

If you don't want to wait, and you have a solid bench vise, you can do it easily with little tools.
The brass drift may work fine, but if it is stuck in tightly, you may need more leverage.

First, make sure you lightly drill out any punch marks along the edges of the retainer nut and hub that may hold it in place.
Get 2 drill bits about the diameter of the holes.  Carefully measure the distance across opposite holes.
Tighten the drill bits in the vise the same distance, with the shank ends sticking up about 1/4".
Drop the wheel onto the two pins, grab the wheel/tire, and rotate counter-clockwise to loosen the retainer.

My comment about the brass drift was for removing the bearings, and not the bearing retainer.

Duly noted.  I'll clarify that more.  My recommendations were for removing the retainer, then using a brass drift to remove the bearings.

I used the tool I'll link below, before I got a tool specifically for the bearing retainer removal.
