Front wheel bearing retainer

In earlier models that 4 dimpled retainer screwed in, and was removed using a 4 pronged removal tool.
Not sure I recall what happens in a Commando, but don't try pushing it out just yet !
You often see them munged up on earlier models, where previous owners used a punch or cold chisel to bash them in or out ! They are surprisingly expensive to buy or find in good condition for earlier models too.
I'd guess that Commando ones have different threads...

This tool has been discussed before. http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools ... 36554.html
Sometimes the felt seal can be swelled and not pass over the bearing retaining special nut that drives the speedo gearbox. This can be made worse if the nut has been damaged by not using the proper tool to remove or refit it much the same as damage to the front wheel bearing retainer (you were having problems with).
Mine like many had been fitted and removed with a hammer and punch but some filing sorted it and once speedo gearbox is refitted it cannot be seen.
