(This thread was originally: How Do I Put a Soft Clip Onto My Gen6 Swashdrive?)
I know people have done it. I tried unscrewing the front bearing and spinning the top around (like I can do on my gen7), but there isn't enough clearance to spin it around. Am I doing something wrong?

Can you slide it up a little to get more clearance?

Derrrrrr... Didn't try that! Darn. Home from work now. I'll give that a go tomorrow. If there's another way, I hope someone pipes up! I want to try it out...

I did what Jay said. I figured that if people took the motors out and put them in those crappy chinese frames, that it must be easy to disassemble. Totally was. It was so easy in fact, that I am almost embarrassed that I was hesitant to do it without asking someone for advice! lol
Yay. Now I have a gen6 with a soft clip. Now, I just have to wait for someone to come in so I can use it on them!Not too bad for a GIRL, eh?

can you do me a favor please? can you post the outcome here in this thread. I have been wanting to do this, but I love my gen 6 the way it is.
If you notice any Good things that come from swapping it out, I would love to know!!!
thanks,
chris
