    For the OEM cam arm removal, use a T25 Torx on the head and a 8mm socket for the nut. Remove the nut and roller pin.

  2. Step 4

    Use a screwdriver to open the sheaves and a magnet to retrieve the cam arm SEE PICTURES BELOW– be careful to save the washers that are installed on both sides of the arm – these will be needed to run EVP weights.

  3. Step 3

    Remove both sheaves, remove spring cup and spring from the OEM helix.

  4. Step 4

    Grab the new helix, make sure the helix cap is adjusted to -45 degrees, if not loosen (3) Allen screws and clock the helix cap. Tighten the (3) Allen screws back down.
