make sure you retorque the bolts in a few weeks to make sure none came loose. Besides that, there shouldnt be any problems

Hopefully you used shorter bolts or used washers to compensate for the thickness of the frisbee

Otherwise, just enjoy the slightly quicker spool up time you will get without the frisbee

you mean I was supposed to put the bolts back in?????
Heh, just kidding... :D

Checking it again sounds like a good idea....Thanks. I did use a few washers....I wanted to find some bolts, but in my short search at the local home depot all I could find was washers....no biggie I guess.

You wouldn't happen to remember what size bolts you used putting it back on do you? I'm planning on doing this soon and want to have the right bolts before I take it apart. :seeya

...5/16" fine thread I believe.....they need to be fairly short in order to not scrub the water pump. I ended up using the stock bolts w/ a washer on each one. (bought at home depot)
