With a sharpie, draw an alignment mark from the spring cap to the spider. This will ensure proper alignment when reassembling. (Figure 3).

11
Loosen the clutch compression tool. Remove spring cap and primary spring.

With an 8mm socket and T-25 Torx, loosen one weight pin at a time.
2
Remove the weight pin, remove the weight. NOTE: OEM weights have (2) bushings, keep these if you ever want to reuse the OEM weights. They are NOT needed for EVP weights. (Figure 5).
3
Install the new EVP weight and reuse the OEM pin and Nylock nut. Tighten down till the pin is snug, we want the weights to move effortlessly.
4
Do step 1-3 for the rest of the weights. NOTE: Primary clutches need to be perfectly aligned. If you place a gold weight in the clutch, across from it needs to be a gold weight. Same for black weights. FOR EXAMPLE: ST-2021RR 3R-91 gold.
  • 3 Black, 3 Gold.
  • The EVP cam arms need to be staged as 1 black, 1 gold, 1 black, 1 gold, 1 black, 1.
