Would this work?

Go to your local auto parts place. Buy a piece of tubing that fits snugly over the wheel axle, and a piece that fits snugly over the CIM's output shaft. Buy a male-male adapter to connect the two different sizes of tubing together. Make the tubing as short as possible, and mount the CIM so it is concentric and coaxial with the wheel axle. The wheel must be separately supported.
