All,

Looking for someone who can help me with a Primary Spring Swap on my Rev XP, I dont have any of the special tools to do this, but I know some fellow dootalkers around probably would. I am willing to rent or will pay someone to swap out the primary for me. Id hate to buy all the special tools only to use them only once.
Any assistance would be appreciated, I live in the Hastings, not to far from the cities.
Thanks,
Shawn

to change the primary spring, you don't need much.

you don't need to pull the whole clutch off, so you don't need a clutch puller. just take the bolt out and tap the sliding half gently out words with a rubber mallet... you might be able to just wiggle it off, there really isn't anything holding it on. what i do is back the clutch bolt off just about an 1/8" and fire the engine for a few seconds... this will help loosen the sliding half. you don't need the button forks either.... it's just easier if you have it. when putting the governor cup back on without the forks.. it takes a smidge longer to start them 1 by 1 but it's not that hard. for a spring compressor, i just have a threaded rod that i put in a vice. i put the clutch over the rod followed by a washer and nut. remove the three spring cup retainer bolts and back off the nut on the threaded rod... thats it.

or pop off the sliding half like i mentioned above and bring it to a dealer to have them change the spring. hope this helps [ it too me longer to hunt and peck type this than it would have to do the work, haha]

I can help you out, I live in Hastings too. 651-283-8708

Sweet, I will give you a call. Thanks again for all the responses. I had no idea you can do this without the special tools. A search would have done me some good.
