I'm disassembling the motor for the 1250 kit this weekend. The kit arrives Monday night and I'm hoping to install it right away. Thanks to a couple of really good threads on the subject, plus the manual and Hammer instructions, I think I'm good to go.

I studied the manual on the clutch replacement and it looks straight forward. I bought the spring tool from Hammer Performance too.

Any tips, tricks or pitfalls I need to be aware of for the clutch replacement? I have the Energy One 15% kit arriving with the 1250 kit and want to get after it right away.

Thanks,

 

I've read that a lot of folks change out the stock throwout bearing for an "angular thrust" bearing. A member on XLF bought a pair, and sent me his extra so I can change mine if I ever go inside the primary.

I forget the bearing number, hopefully someone has done this and can provide the bearing number. I'll take a picture and post it up after I get home from work. Nice folks over on XLF, here too.
