and washers. Be sure when the gear is installed the
straight edge is to the front.
Drill one of the axle holes in each wheel pant {
be
sure to make a right and left side
}. Slide a wheel
collar on the axle followed by the wheel and a
second collar. Tighten the lock screw in the

portion of the axle and install the assembly in the
wheel pant. {
The wheel pant is made from a very
flexible material and will not break during this
step
}
Slide the axle through the gear, install a washer
followed by the supplied lock nut. Hold the axle
with pliers, align the wheel pant and tighten the
lock nut.
