            You have the cush rubbers mounted in the wheel yes?
            So its a matter of getting the sproket carrier assembly and the "''paddles" inserted. It was tight iirc.
            it was also 35 yrs ago but I think we resorted to using a thick plank as a buffer and drove it home bit by bit.

              Make sure everything is really clean, you will be surprised at how much a thin layer of old material will interfere.

                    Check out post #62 in my GS850L thread linked in my signature. That's how I did mine.
