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 ![]() wrap masking tape around the outer of the sprag clutch. i use masking tape as it leaves no residue behind. ![]() then take your blade and run it around the centre of the tape ![]() you should end up with this ![]() now slide the blade into the channel you just made and gently pry the spring up ![]() then run your thin screwdriver around the outer to remove the spring ![]() VOILA spring out in minutes and no lobes on the floor! ![]() then just pop the new spring on and remove the tape! ![]() |
