Slide all 8 bearings into place through the bearing holes in the chassis. Slide a lock collar onto the axle, 
then slide the axle through the first bearing. At this point, put the key in the shaft and slide on the wheel 
sprocket. Finally slide the shaft through the second bearing. Slide another lock collar on to secure the 
inside bearing and slide the outside lock collar over to secure the outside bearing. Use Loctite on all set 
screws.
