Default Gear Drive Cam Change Question...

I tried the search function and surprisingly there’s not much info on my question. Maybe it’s an obvious “duh” question.

I’m currently running S&S 510 gear driven cams in a 88” FXDX. I’m going to get some work done and switch to 570 gear EZ start cams.

The question is: can I get the “inner gears only” package or do I need the full gear drive package to change cam size? Just wondering if different parts/pieces for EZ start vs regular or pieces that SHOULD be replaced while it’s opened up anyway.

(gears only vs full package below)

All you need is the inner gears. You can press them off the old gears from the 510 cams pretty easy. (if you have a press).
