Topic: A series of questions

[timdhawk]

- I just realized that when i took my rear hub apart (78 cb750) there was no distance collar in it. Is this a must have or just a nice to have?
- since apart, do i need to/should i replace the piston rings on the lower seats of the forks?
- can the threads on the rear final drive flange (the peice the sprocket bolts to) be re-tapped? the ones the retainer screws into.
- can anyone tell me where this o-ring goes? is it around the hub or inside the peice in front of it? (not the bearing, the other one)

if you mean 1 of the 2 that live in the rear hub?.. YES they are NEEDED..

a must have, otherwise you'll ruin the wheel bearings in no time.

have you taken the bearings out and seen there's none? hard to believe that you been running without one.

sorry, figured I'd better ask all my questions rather than 5 separate posts.

this one here was not in the hub when i took it apart. I didn't even know i was supposed to have it until i startewd looking at parts drawings for ordering.

The O-ring goes on the shoulder of the bub, and is held in with the chrome collar.. do believe it keeps grease in the drive.

754 right, o ring goes on hub,chrome collar goes over it, DO NOT put together w/out missing part,no way it can work correctly!Bill

whoever omitted that spacer when redoing the bearings has to be sent to jail. it could end in big tears. good that you spotted it.
