I put my new 4 gram roller weights in the new variator, and slid the rear cover into place. Make sure the plastic dampers are in good shape.

Holding the pulley half and rear plate together to be sure the rollers stay in place, I slid the assembly onto the crank.

Then I inserted the collar into the variator and slipped the belt over it.

Next, I slid the variator fan and washer onto the splines. The belt may need to be moved a little to get it all the way on.
