Can someone assist please?

Many thanks!

I assume you mean the rotor. These bikes don't have magnetos. Use the search function for "rotor puller" and you'll find plenty of info. Good luck.

I have the correct size bolt that will pull your rotor. $5.00 shipping included. Mike

It's an M16 x 1.5 pitch bolt, I believe.

That's what I'm looking for. Many Thanks G-Man.

I'm used to working on bikes from the 80s on up. So, apologies for the terminology faux pas. First time on the Dream. It's all Original and unrestored. Not bad but a little rough. Most of it's life was spent near Pittsburgh Penn and the salt had its way with the exhaust and that was replaced.
My friend inherited it from his Father.

Very easy bike to work on though! And more parts are available then for my 88 Honda HawkGT!

Thanks again folks. Off to find the correct tool to get that starter clutch rebuilt! (pm'd ya Mike!)

I went to an 'Autozone' they had a rack of replacement oil drain plugs, look for the correct thread size.

Thanks to Mike, I got the bolt needed to remove the rotor and did so today. Some pics to assist with anyone having this issue in the future.

Bolt goes in here :)

Image

I had to raise the bike up a bit and brace the rear wheel. The raising part was to get it in gear.

Image

Turn the bolt in just a bit. It didn't take much and it pulls loose. Then just comes off. The little piece came out immediately. Part of the starter clutch assembly.

Image

Back part of the rotor/starter clutch.

I had one out of the three sections in tact.

Image

Remove the three big screws to separate the rotor from the starter clutch.

Image

Then separate. I had used some PB Blaster to help loosen the screws.

Tim from Classic Honda Restoration fulfilled my order quickly! Here's the starter clutch rebuild kit as it arrives from the Post.
