1974 Honda CB200- Reassembling the clutch basket

Got this clutch basket for low money on eBay. I'm using it to learn the reassembly procedure. If you have any tips or comments, please post them!

Great video, and thank you very much.

Have you found a Lock Nut Wrench (special tool 07916-2830000) for removing the oil filter rotor? I think I found a superceded one at LawnMowerPros blah blah blah dot com.

(their site takes forever to load...)

Oh, and the manual does tell you to remove the phillips-head screw on the filter cover. Page 20, Step 5 - "Remove the screw from the oil filter cap".

@tomfarr56 Cool, let me know if the wrench works and the p/n.At my last oil change, I had to clean the oil filter while on the bike with the cover in place because I couldn't figure out how to get it off. How did you get your cover off?

@guitartec

The wrench works GREAT!

Go to Motionpro's site. Part # 08-0015

To remove the oil filter cover, first, remove the phillips-head screw in the center.

Next, insert a 8mm bolt into the hole. Screw it in until it bottoms, and then keep screwing it as it pushes the cover off. There is an o-ring around the edge of the cover, which makes it a tight fit.

Then you have to flatten out the locking ring tab (one of several), and that will allow the wrench to do it's thing.

@tomfarr56 How do you keep the engine from turning when you turn the phillips head screw?

@guitartec

Did you not read Page 20 of that Shop Manual you show at the beginning of your video? It tells you everything I have said, including "...place a soft metal bar between the gear teeth..."

I used a piece of tapered wood, myself, only because it was handy. Watch for small pieces of wood left behind, if you do it this way.

@tomfarr56  Yes, I read it a long time ago and tried it using a Craftsman #3 Phillips head screwdriver and a piece of wood, but I couldn't get the torque I needed to turn the screw.

Obviously your Missus was not home when you rebuilt it on the kitchen table :)

@guitartec

I'm not sure which size bit I used, but I may have given it a couple of mild hits with my impact screwdriver and a rubber mallet.
