It is really easy. I just recently did mine.

First you remove all the bolts around the clutch cover and oil line lines. Once your remove the cover you remove the 5 bolts holding the plates and everything in.

Just make sure you install the new plates/clutches/springs in the same order they were in before.

Its cake.

They may also recomend that you soak the new clutch plates in oil a few hour before you install them. Its easy and a service manual help out a ton and only costs about 20 bucks, I would reomend getting one of those its got step by step directions and pictures of it. Good Luck

Yeah make sure you soak the clutches in oil before you put them in. I think it has something to do with starting the bike up with them dry you could ruin them. That's how it was explained to me.

Just soak them in the oil that you put in your atv and you should be good too go.

I soaked mine in 10w-40 motorcycle oil.

The install is very easy. If you are mechanically inclined I honestly don't think you will need a manual.
