| Hi Chris,
Quite a simple task really.
You can do the whole process with the bike on the sidestand.
Slacken off the Swingarm pinch bolts.
Using your C-spanner, rotate the hub eccentric to make the chain as slack as possible (you may want to make a note of it's "clockface" position if you have concerns over wheelbase etc).
Undo the sprocket side nut and slide the whole carrier assembly off the splines in one piece
Now comes the tricky bit in the whole process. You'll need a heavy duty pair of circlip pliers to remove the large circlip on the reverse of the OEM carrier assembly. It's a b*****d to remove without the right kit. You can manage it with screwdrivers but you'll need two pairs of hands.
Once the circlip is off, loosen each of the cush drive nuts and the cush drive assembly will part easily from the OEM sprocket casting.
Replace the OEM sprocket casting with your quick release carrier and sprocket. If you don't have the special lugs on the back of you carrier designed to prevent the cush drives from backing out, then you may want to take this opportunity to ensure the cush drives are all tight and secure and replace any duff ones.
Replace the circlip and re-install the assembly on the hub shaft and replace the nut.
Return your eccentric to the desired position, and tighen up the swingarm pinchbolts.
Presto...you're done.
Can be done in about 30 mins
Good luck mate.
Regards, Guy
