How to install the CB100 cam & retainer plate bolt kit

  1. Inspect the components. Before installing any components, check for product damage and report any issues to us.
  2. Lubricate under the bolt heads. Use the provided assembly lubricant under the head of each bolt. This reduces friction and allows for accurate torque readings.
  3. Hand-tighten, then torque in a cross pattern. Install the provided bolts onto the retainer plate and tighten them by hand. Torque the bolts to 25 ft-lbs using a cross pattern for even distribution of pressure.
