This special tool is designed to safely rotate the kick-start shaft and pre-load the stiff return spring so it can be hooked onto the crankcase cover without causing damage to the belt case or spring.  Attempting to pry the spring into place with screwdrivers or pliers instead of using the specific tool is highly discouraged, as it can easily result in the spring slipping and causing injury or damaging the aluminum belt case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;\"\u003eInstructions for use:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eInitial Placement:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e Insert the kick-starter shaft (sector gear) along with its return spring into its housing in the transmission\/crankcase cover.
