Next you can drill 1 or 2 holes for the Pins..Make sure you go far out enough so it doesn't get in the way of the Bearing and so the gear is the thickest on the outside.. Just make sure you don't drill through it.. You can even use the bearing as a guidelin..You can drill either one or 2 I used only 1 since I am using 1/8 wheel pins..It should fit snug...
