Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Preparation: Confirm axle hub size (1" or 1.25") and desired tooth count (53-85) for gear ratio. Gather split sprocket, M6 bolts, 10mm socket wrench, torque wrench, thread locker, and chain aligner tool.
Positioning: Remove the old sprocket by loosening hub bolts with a 10mm socket wrench. Split the new sprocket halves, position around the axle hub, and align the 6-bolt pattern (5-1/4") with the hub’s mounting holes, ensuring tooth count marking is visible.
Securing: Apply thread locker to M6 bolts. Bolt the sprocket halves together onto the hub, tightening to 8-10 ft-lbs with a torque wrench in a cross pattern. Use a chain aligner tool to ensure the sprocket aligns with the engine’s drive sprocket, preventing chain derailment, as recommended for drivetrain alignment.
Final Check: Install the #35 chain, checking for proper tension and alignment. Test-drive at low speed to confirm smooth power transfer and no chain slippage. Re-torque bolts after 10 laps. Carry a spare sprocket and bolts for trackside adjustments.
Maintenance Tips
Inspect for tooth wear, corrosion, or bolt looseness every 20 race hours, cleaning with a mild solvent and brush, such as Maxima Racing Oil CleanUp Chain Cleaner. Reapply thread locker and re-torque bolts monthly, replacing the sprocket if teeth are worn or damaged, typically after 800-1200 hours. Store spares in a dry case to prevent corrosion, matching Luckyway’s component advice. For high-torque tracks, check chain alignment and sprocket torque after each session to ensure optimal performance, and lubricate the chain with Maxima Racing Oil Chain Wax for extended life.
