My first carrier: some assembly required

I, too, am for doing it at the sprocket. I normally work alone, and if I am feeling lazy, don't remove the track tension ether. A bar at the sprockets will work the track over until I can get the M113 track jack to engage. The impact gun does the rest. Just did one a couple days ago without issue.

To each his own though, taking into consideration the limitations of the individuals tooling and experience.

The main aim being to finish with a full set of fingers.

Amen to that. To trust a track with your fingers is to give your fingers to the track. Track does not warn or forgive.

It seems the guys in the field have the advantage
they have done a few without tools

Thanks all for the comments as it has been quite the journey from the start but still a bit to go as there is quite a few fiddly bits that still need attention but at least it will be fully functioning quite soon for a full season of fun.
