It worked like a charm. BUT JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU TURN THE WHEEL IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION--I had the bike flipped and ended up tightening the cog onto the hub so hard that I fragged up the cog's threading. Make sure that you turn the wheel forward (clockwise), as it says in the directions.

The chain whip definitely helped with tightening the cog, though.
