Rotor Puller Tool | Honda CB175 / CB200 / CB350 / CB360 / CB450 / CB550

The rotor on your vintage Honda twin is pressed onto the end of the crankshaft with a tapered fit and held in place by a key. It is not coming off without the right tool. This CMC rotor puller threads directly into the rotor and pushes against the crankshaft to pop it free — the same method Honda specifies in the factory service manual.

Why You Need This

The rotor (also called the flywheel) sits on the left side of the engine. It carries the ignition timing marks and is the key component of the electrical charging system. Any time you need to service the starter clutch, inspect the stator, or convert to kick-start only, the rotor has to come off first. If your electric starter sounds like a bottle cap in a garbage disposal, the starter clutch behind the rotor needs a rebuild — and this is the tool that gets you in there.

There is no substitute for this tool. The threads inside the rotor exist specifically for this puller to screw into. Trying to pry or hammer the rotor off will damage the crankshaft taper, the rotor itself, or both. Honda lists this as special tool no. 07933-2160000 in every factory service manual from the CB175 through the CB550.

Note: This rotor puller does NOT fit the Honda CT90, CB100, CL100, CB125, or CL125 — those engines use a different size rotor with different threads. We sell a separate CT90 / CB125 Rotor Puller for those models.

Installation

Difficulty: Intermediate

Tools needed: This puller, 18mm socket, 1/2″ drive ratchet, 10mm wrench (stator cover bolts), oil filter wrench or strap wrench (to hold rotor), oil or light grease

  1. Remove the left side engine cover to expose the stator and rotor.
  2. Remove the rotor bolt — an oil filter wrench or strap wrench around the rotor keeps it from spinning while you break the bolt loose.
  3. Lubricate the threads of the puller with oil or light grease before threading it in.
  4. Thread the puller into the center of the rotor until it seats against the end of the crankshaft.
  5. Using an 18mm socket on a 1/2″ drive ratchet, tighten the puller clockwise. It pushes against the crankshaft and pops the rotor free.
  6. Watch for the half-round key (Woodruff key) on the crankshaft — it will drop out once the rotor is off. Do not lose it.

CB550 note: The CB550 series engines do not use a half-round key on the crankshaft.
