Just be careful. I know you will. Those torque springs can be dangerous. Sometimes I use two ratchet straps for safety. One above and one below the drive shaft. It's a pain getting them both off after the install though. I usually drive a wooden wedge between the sheaves after install to remove the straps.

Could be. Replace it as soon as possible. That thing flys apart at high rpm and it won't be pretty.

Stock sheave will do. I really haven't personally ever seen much of a noticeable difference with the milled sheaves.

ok i have a new sheeth with torque spring in rear along with new helix buttons and i dont under stand it but the buttuns look like they are wearing only a litle bit of the sheeth like the whole button is not making contact like it should be i ran these new buttons on an old sheeth for about 15 minutes of ride time my best guess is they wore abnormal and are not making full contact
