# Getting Started

## Assembly Prep

Refer back to the [Individual Components](/welcome/gearboxes/wcp-single-stage-gearbox/general-info/individual-components.md) page and ensure that all necessary parts are located before starting assembly steps.

#### Tools Required For Assembly

These tools are required for the assembly of the WCP Single Stage Gearbox.

* Snap Ring Pliers (For 1/2" snap rings)
* Allen Keys
  * 1/8"

The gearbox should be assembled before installation, unless there is a space issue during installation that would prevent this.
