Hi guys, i had a look at some previous posts made about this and got some decent info but just wondered if anyone could offer some advice on a particular point before i get stuck into this thing tomorrow.
So i have a kicker kit lying around my shed that i decided to finally fit as a back up to my keyswitch electric start on my 1995 evo with points ignition. No other real reason other than i got it 6 months ago and its taking up space so figured i may as well fit it.
It was from WWAG cycles but looks to be the Custom Chrome kit that requires removal of the mainshaft and countershaft bearing housing and replaced with the chunkier adaptor plate that comes in the kit. The instructions aren't great but mentions i need to remove the stock OEM plate and "press out the bearings" before re-installing them in the new plate that comes with the kit.
The instructions make it sound like you just remove the circlips holding the bearings in place and push them out. Is it that simple or would i need to use a special bearing removal tool? I have a puller that i used to replace my cam bearing.
Also, wondering if anyone who has done this previously felt that it was worth replacing the bearings while in there even though they might look ok.
Thanks in advance for any pointers
