hey guys, this sites been a great help to me, so i thought id share a little something that will hopefully save some time and annoyance when changing sprag springs.


tools needed

Posted Image

wrap masking tape around the outer of the sprag clutch. i use masking tape as it leaves no residue behind.

Posted Image

then take your blade and run it around the centre of the tape

Posted Image

you should end up with this

Posted Image

now slide the blade into the channel you just made and gently pry the spring up

Posted Image

then run your thin screwdriver around the outer to remove the spring

Posted Image

VOILA spring out in minutes and no lobes on the floor!

Posted Image

then just pop the new spring on and remove the tape!

Its like a one way bearing that lets the starter turn the engine but not the other way round.
