A quick video showing how to remove the rear wheel on a Honda CB750K4. I know this may seem simple, but there are no other videos showing it. I hope it helps someone.
Thanks for this video. Just got my 1972 on the road after many many years (or even decades) of hibernation. Need to address the rear brake drum issue. Thanks again.
Thank you for making this video. I have a 1977 CB750Four K. After one winter the rear wheel completely stuck and wouldn’t even budge. I’ve been looking for a video showing how to remove the rear wheel so I could then examine. Thanks again!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - but you don't need to remove the exhausts to get the rear wheel off. The swinging arm is open ended at the back (there are two inserts that bolt on to the ends of the swinging arm to give the chain tensioners something to press on - but these can be unbolted and removed). Then you can slacken the axle and pull the rear wheel out the back of the bike - with exhausts in place. At least you will know for next time 😉.
Are you saying you can pull the wheel out backwards without removing the axle rod (or whatever it's called?) I have an aftermarket exhaust on my CB750 K5, so the pipes won't get in the way if I pull that rod out. Would it still be easier to just pull the wheel out the back with the rod in place? (Getting ready to put a new sprocket on the back wheel. I may replace the drum brakes or at least examine them while I have the wheel off.)
Glad you addressed that. I too questioned why you would have to remove the exhaust just to change a flat tire? Honda engineers would not have made that oversight in the design. I went right here to see comments and you confirmed it. thanks!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Sergio Xander thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

Marcus thanks for the Video! I just picked up a 1981 Honda CB650 and the steps are basically the same. I appreciate your showing the steps!

Thanks for the video. I’m reassembling mine and it helped to know where some parts fit.
Found out of your video that I had the wrong spacer in the rear axel, cheers Gaz

@Sergio Xander it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Ronnie Owen No problem :D
Rear wheel comes out from the rear complete with brake and sprocket. Takes about 2 minutes.
DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE EXAUST OF TO GET THE REAR WHEEL OFF?
No. See my comment
No. Remove the vertical retaining bolts and slide it out the back
