How to remove the rear wheel from Honda CX 500C and paint it! 

CX500 brought me here, your message locked me in! Great video

Thanks for uploading these! They've been helpful.

Nice video. About masking off the tyre: I've heard of a method where you put a small bit of hand grease (the stuff you put on your hands when they're dried out) right around the edges of the rim. This is easier to curve around the rim than with masking tape and you can easily wash it off with some soap and water after you've painted the wheel. Haven't tried it myself yet but it does sound like a solid method.

Awesome videos. Thanks for the fork rebuild videos. That’s my next project on a 1980 CX500 I recently picked up. Looking forward to the headlight installation. And the rest of the rebuild. Glad I found your channel

IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO WIRE A IGNITECH TO A 79 CX500( CDI bike )...PLEASE DO SO ! i just bought a 79 cx500 that had one but it was wired incorrectly and is missing certain pins etc.

It's easier to loosen the rear drive than deflate the tyre

Looked better before being painted, I just got the same bike that's been sprayed all black. And have to remove it now. Thanks for the videos tho

Did you use a special kind of paint or just regular automotive spray? I know they make special "wheel paint" but not sure if its necessary and would rather use the paint I have for the other parts to match. Also how are they holding up?

I've had the same thing happen when painting with enamel paint, sucks! Good video. I'll watch more. 😀

🥳 Great explanation!

I have 83 CX650 Custom.. as you know there isn’t a frame on the front of the motor. The motor hangs down from sort of backbone of the bike. With that being how it is,, any idea on how/where put cruiser foot pegs??? There’s 2 little spots on the motor(CX650 custom) any ideas or input b appreciated..

Instead of tape use wd40 on ya tire. Faster, easier too.. Wax on wax off. Done a ton of bikes like this

I'm having trouble putting my rear tire back on (82 Honda GL500). The axle is positioning itself lower than pinch clamp. I can shove the axle almost all the way in but when it gets to the larger diameter it's too low to line up with the hole. I've got the wheel on the hub and everything should be in line, but for some reason it doesn't want to cooperate.

Thanks for the video! Does the brake plate have any positive interface with the wheel but before reinstallation or does it float and sit in the right place with just the axle and spacer?

Hi I just got a 1980cx500 it does need a carb overall and a lot of TLC

Great Video,

better to use note cards inserted between wheel and tire then masking tape:))

Yes you can use WD40 or something similar on the tire, but use a deck of playing ♥️♣️♠️♦️cards to go all the way around the tire under the rim. It works great!

Sale mas facil quitar los amortiguadores y asi no se ariesgan a dañar los empaques del escape y a desarmar tantas piesas

Question I have to do the same process to get the Rear tire changed and should I wait to put the new differential fluid in it to after I get the tire changed or does it not make a difference

Brush paint it easyer
