The shell replacement is not hard. Give yourself some space though, so you can lay everything out. Take pictures as you go along, and view some You-tube videos. You will find it rewarding if all goes well. Take your time and don't hurry. Keep the screws separated as you remove them so they go back in the right places. That is probably the most important thing as there are several different types of screws used on these phantoms. You will get new screws with the shell, but most kits won't label where they go, so you can match them up with your original ones if you want to use them.
Mark had some good suggestions too about how to try and avoid them from coming back. Not that you have to do anything though. A new shell might last you just fine. But I for one do like the reinforcements that bolt on. They are cheap and weigh practically nothing. I have replaced around 7-shells for myself and friends, and I always put these on and have had very good results, but to each their own choice. I also change my settings in my app to soften the braking, etc., and do believe this helps a lot too.
Good luck. |
