We have pressed a sprocket over the gear for 2 years.

I love it. It is a little tricky to get the right ID
so that the press is tight but not so tight that it
cracks the sprocket. But other than that, I have
nothing but good things to say about this method.

P.S. EXCEPT one more thing, it is a custom motor
treatment that makes it hard to replace your motor at a
competition. We get around this by buying an extra
motor from a GM dealer (this year's motor is from a
"G-van" a.k.a. "Savannah&quot. A halfway solution would
be to make extra sprokets and have one ready to press
on to a new motor if your old one fails.
