OK I always seem to break things ugh... well I went to take out my 20g rollers that were squeaking to try out the 22g sliders I got and after taking off the nut the variator it didn't seem to want to come off, luckily I had some flywheel pullers to get it off. Well it doesn't want to go back on now. I'm guessing I over tightened it using my airgun. Well its the backplate that the slides hook on, seems like the hole got smashed making it smaller. Can I bend this back someway or just hammer it on??? Or do I need to get a new plate? And where would I get one? seem I take one step forward and two back. Thanks

Look at the picture and Writing I put on it: If that is the back plate your talking about and now it will not go on the Crankshaft get a dremel tool and round it out enough to fit on the crank. And you cannot get that part separate you would have to buy the Variator set. Alleyoop  |

The torque specs for this engine are in the Helix manual in the tech section, air gun good to take off nut, not to tighten it back.
