ok yountake the finned part off and behind that there should be a thin washer thats flat,then there should be a wedding ring shaped spacer washer that actually fits over the main spacer the the variator sits on ,this one is the resrictor and needs taking off.a good way to tell ifit has been done is to look at how far the belt is to the outside edge of the variator you can see a distinct mark to where it travels out to when its fully geared up if its more than 10mm away its still restricted.
