There is a lock ring/nut that is covering the rear wheel bearing on the brake disc side of the wheel it has four holes in it , do you need a special tool for removal , and what would it be called ? Is it something I can get at the tool store or is ity a specialized Honda tool?
I think the Haynes manual shows how to do this but I can't find mine at the moment. Please help me I have to get this fixed tomorrow. thanks picasso.

I used longnose pliers and levered on them with a screwdriver.
Some people use a flat bar with holes drilled at the correct spacing. Put bolts through the holes and hold them with nuts.
Don't forget to drill out the divet they put in to lock the threads otherwise you'll be needing a new lock ring.

GSMacLean has pictures on his how to site that might show how he made a tool.
