Raptor 50v2 Guide Pulley replacement
Hi,
My last crash damaged my boom and pushed it into the main gear and broke a few teeth and also damaged the auto rotation pulley which I will replace. I noticed a small crack on the edge of one of the red guide pullys and was wondering if I could let it go. I'm changing the belt for good measure. It was quite mangled. I'm not a big 3D flyer but do occasionally beat it up. My other question is, to replace these pullys, do I have to totally disassemble the frame or is there a trick to it? Crap, this going to be my third parts order if I need to replace them. Wish I had done some research first. Still haven't figured out how to get out my mangled flybar from the metal head
Thx!

That pulley is spinning quite quickly, so I'd replace it if it is cracked. I'm sorry but I'm not aware of a shortcut on replacing it myself...maybe someone else has an idea? That is a very unusual part to have to replace - I've never replaced either of mine in 8 years (ok, I just jinxed myself , knock on wood!).
