## Assembly

{% 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 %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Be sure to align the bolt holes in the Aluminum Swerve Wheel with the tapped holes in the 45T Bevel Gear.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure that the 45T Bevel Gear is fully seated before installation. Failure to do so will not allow the wheel to spin smoothly.
{% endhint %}

Insert the 45T Bevel Gear into the Aluminum Wheel. This may be a tight fit. A dead blow hammer or an arbor press can be used to press the bevel gear into place. Tighten all bolts to ensure the bevel gear is flat.

## Tread Cutting

When cutting tread for the Swerve X Wheel, you must know which type of tread you are using. The type of tread will affect the hole pattern and overall length of tread needed. We recommend using 3 Ply Black Neoprene and the pattern is based on that material.

{% hint style="warning" %}
3 Ply Black Neoprene tread was used to determine the overall length and hole spacing for the tread pattern. If using a different tread type, the spacing may be different due to the construction of the tread.&#x20;
