I got the last two parts for my sm420 install today (pilot bearing and throw out bearing sleeve), but I was wondering if anything special needs to be done to the throw out bearing sleeve? As in should I affix it to the front bearing retainer with something like JB weld? Also, I thought I read somewhere that it also needed to be shortened to work with the SM420 becasue it could also be used for a SM465? I may be smoking crack on the last one, but as the parts did not come with any instructions I thought I would ask here. I will also give classic cruisers a call in the morning.
Thanks,
Brian

I also just bought the adapter sleve for my sm420 from Classic Cruisers. I can slid mine by hand so they said to use jb weld to hold it in place. No biggie. As far as shortening it I havn't heard anything about having to. If it does need to be shortened let us know.

MD11fr8dog how much did you have to trim the sleeve when you did your's?

Hmmm, I'm gonna have to use http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/images/top_search.gif to remember!!:flipoff2:

EDIT: The length of the sleeve needs to be about 62mm long. Here is some info on Extreme Bends sight on the dimensions.http://www.extremebends.com/sm420/sm420-3.shtml
