I am doing the whole rearend on my 2005 WG. Chrome swingarm, axle covers, axle adjuster, belt sprocket and bolts, rotor and bolts, caliper, wheel spacers, and braided rear brake line. I have the repair manual and it goes into great detail. I also will do the cables and handle bar controls later. Parts all over the living room!

You can do it!
A little advice for you: you might want to consider stainless bolts rather than chrome for your sprocket. Most chrome bolts aren't of sufficient quality to take the stress of this application and you can wind up with the problem that I had, wherein my bolts kept vibrating loose due to stretching. A local shop recommended that I switch to a quality stainless bolt instead. Since doing so, everything is fine.

I got the chrome bolt kit from HD andI have not had one problem at all, So I think it's just the quality of the bolts, I don't see why chrome plating would make any difference. The blot kit I got was made strictly for the sprocket. I used red loctite!
