In the pictures section, there is a set of pictures showing how to attach a sprocket and wheel to a shaft. However, it is somewhat unclear as to what is actually being done in some of the pictures. Is is possible to get a short written set of instructions, describing what is being done in the pictures? Thanks...

The most easiest solution, and the one that the most teams will likely use, is to put the alluminum spacers that were provided into the wheel hubs and bolt one of the two sizes of big sprockets to the wheels. The trantorque can then be used to fasten the sprocket to a 1/4' shaft that goes through the sprocket and the wheel and is supported with the brass bushings on both ends. I hope that this is helpful.
