Aftermarket $46

OEM with cog $303

I think its worth the effort, besides, I get to use my tools, I just really hate drilling metal, I don't have a drill press.

I didn't follow the video exactly to the letter, you can use dry ice to "shrink" metal as well as heat to expand it.

Its all together, was about to put the cover on last night and I broke a bolt off in the inner spline portion, which means I had to just cover it up in plastic and order the parts along with an inch/pound tourque wrench so I don't break off any more bolts.

But, got the old basket all apart and the new one together, it wasn't exactly hard but it was a pita

Be very careful getting used to the new clutch, especially if you replaced friction rings. I've heard they can be touchy until they are worn together.

yeah, but it is the best way to break in something.
