you will probably need one carbon fiber washer to replace the hard fiber washer under the main gear.  to find out which kick lever you need, look for a code on your current kick.  it will say "R" or "L" for right or left, and then be numbered 1, 2, 3, or 4.  the stainless steel bearings you have should be fine.  just clean them out.  let us know which kick lever you have.  the drag washer is easy.  alan
