Remove the pin.

Use a magnet to retrieve the cam arm – be careful to save the washers that are installed on both sides of the arm – these will be needed if you ever use the stock weights again. They are NOT needed for the installation of the EVP weights.

5
For removing the stock cam arms and installing the adjustable arms the clutch will have to be compressed slightly to slide the cam arms into place. See picture below on where to do this.
6
To install the new cam arms, slide an arm into the location where the previous arm was installed. Use a magnet to position the arm so the pin can be reinstalled. Reinstall nut onto pin.

Remove the secondary clutch with a 17mm socket and impact, mount it into a clutch compression tool. With a sharpie make alignment marks on both sheaves. (Figure 1).
