# Steps 5-8

{% hint style="success" %}
Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate ([Vibra-TITE](https://wcproducts.com/products/threadlocker)) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.
{% endhint %}

## Step 5

Press the 88T Rotation Gear in by hand. If necessary, use a dead blow hammer to lightly tap it in. 

The Bevel Gear Shaft must be installed through the bottom side of the 12mm bearing. Use the 3/8" snap ring to retain the gear and shaft.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The 16t Second Stage Gear for the X2 Ratio Set is on a 18t Center Distance.

The 14t Second Stage Gear for the X4 Ratio Set is on a 16t Center Distance.
{% endhint %}

| Gear Ratio Kit | 2nd Stage Driven Gear     |
| -------------- | ------------------------- |
| X1             | 18t                       |
| X2             | 16t (18t Center Distance) |
| X3             | 16t                       |
| X4             | 14t (16t Center Distance) |

## Step 6

The 1/4” ID x 5/8” OD bearing can be pressed into the Wheel Fork by hand. Once the bearing is in place, use the #10-32 x 1-1/2”L bolts to install both forks into the module.

## Step 7A

Install the two 15mm ID x 24mm OD bearings into the desired Column Gear. Refer to the [Ratio Options](/welcome/gearboxes/wcp-swerve-x2/general-info/ratio-options.md) page for the correct Column Gear for your selected ratio.

## Step 7B

Use the 1/4"-20 x 1/2"L bolt to attach the Encoder Shaft. This may be a tight fit so use the bolt to fully seat the Encoder shaft.

Then slide the Cartridge and Column Gear Spacer onto the Encoder Shaft.

Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate ([Vibra-TITE](https://wcproducts.com/products/threadlocker)) should be used for the 1/4"-20 bolt shown below.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

## Step 8

Slide the Rotation Gear and Rotation Shaft into position.
