ok, I will be changing my tires in a few weeks, and while I am at it, I will try my hand at lubing the spline and any other maintenance that has to be done with the wheel/final drive off...

So, here are my questions:
What parts should I buy ahead of time that should/might need replacing?
What tools will I need?
What fluids/lube do I need and where? (oil for final drive, moly lube for the splines, and anythign else, etc..)

I want to make sure I can start the project with everything I need and not have to stop halfway to get parts.

Many thanks
Jeremy

Fergy did a great write up on that, take a look.

Check your brake shoes. If worn you might change them out.

27mm deep socket for the axle nut. I had a heck of a time finding one in my local area. Both of my local hardware stores only had em up to 19. I had to run 40 miles north to find one then (murphys law) after I got home realized that it was a 3/4 inch drive socket and my torque wrench was a 1/2 Arghh......

Moly 60 ain't easy to find either unless you have a M/C shop in your area.

The job itself goes pretty quick when you have everything you need on hand. Have fun....

you can get the required grease from a honda dealer honda, moly 60 for about $12

I have A 27mm wrench I bought at a truck stop for about 15.00 made by M.I.T Its long enough no extra torque was necessary
