Default I don't own a lathe...

Does anybody here really replace the clutch liner themselves? As opposed to just buy a new bell and liner every time. Could someone point me to more information. Is there a way to do this?

I have. You do not need a lathe, I have used paper clips to hold in a liner a few times. It has been a while since I owned a Raptor, but I just bought my old ones back. There is a website somewhere that explains using the paper clips somewhere. Anybody know where it is?

The hardest part of changing the liner is cutting the old one out of the bell, I use an xacto for that, and be very careful not to put myself into the urgent care for stitches.

Cut it out with an exacto.

Wrap two layers of tape around your clutch butted end to end not over lapped.

JB Weld the new liner and push the taped clutch up into the bell till it drys.
