Installation

1
Remove clutch cover and drive belt. It is easier to have the bed in the upward position. You do NOT need to remove the clutch, but you can for more room.
2
Setup your clutch weights to the corresponding tune calibration. Use Loctite on all set screws.
3
For the OEM cam arm removal, use a T25 Torx on the head and a 8mm socket for the nut. Remove the nut and roller pin.
4
Use a screwdriver to open the sheaves and a magnet to retrieve the cam arm SEE PICTURES BELOW– be careful to save the washers that are installed on both sides of the arm – these will be needed to run EVP weights.

Install the EVP weights and bushings into the clutch as shown below. Tighten up roller pin nut, make sure the weights still move freely. FOR EXAMPLE: DT-130 adjustable, 2 adjustable.
  • 2 Non-Adjustable, 4 Adjustable.
  • The EVP cam arms need to be staged as 1 non-adjustable, 2 adjustable, 1 non-.
