Does any one have any instructions for the assembly of the updated crank from Honda? It comes with that extra collar. I am not sure which order it goes on the crank and in what direction. I have a service manual but since it is old it does not have this in it. Any one have any pictures or instructions of how to correctly assemble this? I searched but couldn't find much. Thanks!

The collar slides in to the thrust bearing, from the inside.

Should look like this, from the clutch side.

You'll want to install both collars on the crank before installing it. The smal collar goes on very tight, actually a press fit. DO NOT drive it on, heat the small collar until it's hot enough to drop right on. Trying to pound it on runs the risk of knocking the crank out of true.
