anyone have any experience changing these on a 102-c? I guess there are two types, one has snap rings and the other is just "staked" in.... i, of course, have the staked in type... The parts company rep. said that they are very hard to change and that most guys just end up buying a new clutch! 
Ive studied the "fiberglass" bushing and cant see any reason it would be so difficult.... Looks like all i need to do is knock it out and put the new one in possibly with some locktite. then ding the edge with a punch to also keep it in there... i dont have time to look up a picture of it right now but it is the bushing that rides on the center shaft, inside the outer sheave.... let me know what you guys have found when replacing this, is it really that hard? i want to know what im getting into before i end up wasting a $25 bushing.
PS the snow is falling in NW PA... i figure the longer i keep my sled apart the longer it will snow, so you guys can all thank me for taking one for the team

TYLER SCREW IT. COMET RECOMENDS YOU THROW CLUTCH IN GARBAGE WHEN THAT BUSHING GOES rotflmao. YOU NEED LOWER BUSHING REPAIR KIT PART # 213265A. I DON,T RECALL THEM BEING HARD TO CHANGE. I THINK BIGGEST PAIN IN THE *** IS DISASSEMBLEING CLUTCH. 3:16 (yammie tony)

tony, THATS WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR!! ive already got the clutch apart... wasnt too bad with the right amount of heat.... ive got new weights, new bolts to hold the weights, new dark purple spring (just because), i got new rollers (but they were the wrong ones, so im using a good used set from another clutch)... now ive got the movable sheave bushing coming and the face plate bushing... after this she should be ready to rip... um going to call USI in about 1/2 hour and order up a set of ss railers... gonna be a good year
