Default '02 700 Sportsman ignition system replacement

I have a bad coil in my '02 and learned the entire ignition system has been redesigned because of all the trouble Polaris had with this system from the factory. I decided to go ahead and purchase the whole kit to replace the whole system instead of just the coil, itself. Has anyone here done this upgrade?

If so, are there any pointers that can be shared? If anyone has pictures, that would be most helpful. I don't have a service manual on the machine, so any torque specs, I will be posting back for. The only thing that concerns me is the flywheel and stator replacement.

The kit comes with instructions and pictures to help install the new coil,cdi and stator. Just standard tools needed other than a puller for the flywheel. The flywheel can be tough without and impact tool and use a lot of heat Its harder to remove usually than say a 500 flywheel.The crankshaft threads can be damaged if your not careful(I know I've done it) and had to buy a special die to re thread the crank. Other than that its a simple bolt on replacement that should take a couple hrs.I've done about 4 total to date OPT

crap, I just ordered this Friday night and didn't see your post until Monday. You should advertise yours, though. I can't see why it wouldn't sell fast.
