Title: Quick help with old gl500 silverwing front wheel
Post by: john on March 16, 2013, 07:01:19 PM
I need to replace the speedo gearbox on an old 82 silverwing.  It looks like I just need to remove the two bolts at the end of each fork and the caps come off and the wheel will come off.  Am I right?

If you know of any things I need to look out for please let me know.  Also any idea what the torque spec would be on those bearing cap bolts?

I need to do it tonight.  It looks like with the right tools I could do it in 10 minutes.

I had early 80's Hondas and the wheels had those 2 bolt caps at the fork bottoms like you describe, think that's all there was to it.  But my memory isn't like it used to be, an over 80 problem!   :icon_lol:
