I just installed the same setup last week. Be sure to read the instructions and don't over tighten it. We had to put the crush washer between the brake hub and the threaded sleave, that's the only place we could get it to fit - I don't think that's where it really goes but so far so good.

It took awhile - my buddy Dan(Braff1 on here) helped me with it. I would say it took about 2.5 hours and six beers. Biggest pain was cleaning all the crap off the axle and the inside of the swingarm. I am talking about not overtightening the locknut. You can tighten down the four bolts that hold the carrier in place as much as you can - what you have to careful about with a tapered carrier is overtightening the locknut which puts pressure on the bearings which hold the axle in place - like i said read the instructions that came with carrier and they will talk about it. Also - get a manual if you don't already have one to help you along.
