Hello fellas. I managed to replace the stock '"clutch release pad" with the upgraded needle bearing type without screwing anything up! For my next trick I will attempt to change the 17 tooth counter shaft sprocket with the 18 tooth one. I know this procedure is a bit more involved than what I described above. I need to know if the mechanics tool kit (8 tools) sold by Classic Motors will be sufficient to do the job. Thanks Cochi
I don't know much about them lectric start metric machines but you'll need a large deep socket to get the sprocket nut off (on mine it's a 1 1/2 deep socket) and you'll need a socket to get the rotor nut off. Aside from that all you'll need is a motor sprocket puller and a clutch basket puller.

Cochi- I've done mine without any of the special tools... so long as you don't need a puller to pull the gear off the output shaft. Mine slides right off.
A large adjustable spanner for the output shaft, the socket for the clutch should be in your enfield tool kit, and the gear sprocket nut can be done with a pair of channel locks or waterpump pliars. As far as pulling the clutch basket, after taking the clutch hub, springs and nut off put the hub BACK on loosely and find a socket that will fit between the hub and shaft. Take care not to damage the shaft and tighten the 3 bolts...
YOU'VE GOT A PULLER. Just remember that when reassembling to tap the hub in to set it. Otherwise the 1st time you pull the clutch you'll get a POP (YOU'VE PULLED THE HUB IN) and you'll have to readjust the clutch cable.
(Ask me how I know...)
* ALSO- don't remove the drive chain till you've broke the the nuts loose. You have it in gear and step on the brake; then lean over and brake loose....
*a 5mm allen wrench will be needed to get the 3 allen sets loose....
*take both nuts off the primary chain adjuster; the stud comes thru from the back of the primary case...
*don't forget to wrap the splines on the gear shaft with tape to prevent damaging the seal...
