Be super easy on the black plastic "do not remove" plug when you go to put it back in. It has an o-ring to keep it tight so it doesn't need to be much more than hand tight. Two people in the last year broke them is it really easy to do. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Briant, I don't think that part is need it at all. I'm not even sure what it is for. I guess it will hold the chain in case it comes out of the sprocket. In any case, it is safe to use the replacement the way it is. Just make sure the bolts of the new sprocket are tight enough. An impact wrench will make the job a lot easier. BTW, is it important to remind that you should change the front sprocket as well if you are getting a new chain and rear sprocket. To get to the front sprocket you will need to take out the shifter pedal and the black cover, including the black nut with the "Do not open" sign. When you put it back, remember to be extra careful with that one, because is plastic and it can be easily be broken (as I did). Javier.
