Amazing picture! Thanks for sharing.

As an amateur mechanic, do you think I have the ability (and balls) to change the dr pulley rollers myself or should I take it to a shop?

There are endless youtube videos on how to change variator weights.

I'd change the roller weights for you no charge, but I'm in San Diego right near the airport. Kind of a long ride! =P

If you don't have access to a compressor and air impact gun with a 19mm and I believe 24mm socket...then just pay a scoot shop to do it.

Yeah, look up youtube...it's pretty basic.

Its really easy if you have the tools. Good video on Youtube. You can use a DeWalt cordless impact Driver or an air powered one, borrow if necessary. I can make the change in less than 10 minutes now. You don't have to remove any body panels if you have the right ratchets and extensions.

I don't know what impact gun the guy in the video has but I wouldn't own it.

Just lay everything out that your remove, in the position on the floor that it came from. ( there are different lengths of bolts). And pay attention to how the variator comes apart. ( Video it!).

I will be doing this next week for the first time... I don't own any impact tools or the torque wrench it might take to tighten that back up. Maybe you could give me a shopping list and proper tool terminology so's homie don't make like fool down at Harbor freight :oops: He is using lock tight (blue)?
