CR125/250/500 84/5/6 rear brake torque arm

[smed]

My rear wheel backing plate bearing where the torque arm fits up is knackered on my 85 CR, I could not get one from Honda & the bearing shop could not either

I'm guessing they are the same from 84-86,has anyone else run into this?

Any fixes?


Thanks

There's a bearing on the front and just a bolt at the back on the 84 500 from memory (it's been a while).

There's a thread on here with a replacement bearing for the front (somewhere).  The standard one is an odd size and NLA - is that right

Thanks ,The arm has a spherical bearing on the front and a saddle mount on the brake plate end, There is a spherical bearing in the brake backing plate,

 That,s the one I need to fix,it's NLA as far as I know, the front also needs replacing,sound like they are NLA as well ,both bearings are the same I.D. but different O.D.

OK, I'm with you now.

Here's the thread for the front one.

Looking at a parts diagram it turns out the 1984 only has 2 collars.  That's why it wasn't ringing any bells.

Sweet, thanks Tony that will get the front sorted did you get them from that website or the local bearing shop?

Just need to get the rear one sorted now

I got mine from the retailer in Geebung from memory.  If you can't find an outlet give me a yell and I will see what I can find.

Is it 19 mm outer and 8 mm inner for the front spherical bearing, these are common.

I gave up on it & fixed it this way, Gotta drill some worksy looking holes in it yet though, , Solid round ally bar with milled flats, drilled & tapped to suit bearing shop tie rod ends & pressed a reducing bush to suit an 8mm bolt into the rear brake plate,Sorted
