i dont have my new basket yet but do have my original laying there and i was wondering how i remove the old basket form the springs and gear to reuse it w/ my new basket

 

Well first off, there should be 6 bolts holding the pressure plate on. Take them off along with the springs. Next remove the plates and steel plates and put them in oil. Next on the back of the old clutch basket there should be 4 studs holding the gear on. You will need to get these drilled out by a shop or be careful and do it your self. After these studs are drilled out, the gear should be able to be removed quite easily. The Hinson basket should have these same exact 4 holes on it, but they will be threaded for a bolt and not a stud. The basket should come with the hardware to put your stock gear on it. After you get the gear securly on the basket, re-install the plates and steel plates in the EXACT order you took them off in. Line up the pressure plate and install the springs and bolts. Make sure to get the bolts on securly and you are ready to ride. I have taken my Banshee clutch apart SEVERAL times and I know that thing inside and out. i am assuming the rap. clutch isnt much different!
