New Rear Sprocket

So I ordered a 45 tooth rear sprocket from sprocket center and when I go to put it on it's seems to be warped. I don't show as many threads on one of the nuts? I checked the back and all of the bolts are seated right. So I can't figure out what I did wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Could i have gotten a warped rotor??? I checked it before I put it on and it seemed fine. I hate to have to take it off and check again...This simple chain and sprocket replacement is turning out to be a pain in my ass....

Even though you checked the bolt, I'd check it again, it might have moved while you were messing with the other bolts. There's a flat spot on the bolt. Right?
If that's not it, take the spocket off, lie it on some glass and look to see if it's warped, and while the spocet is off check that you have all the same bolts. Also if the other bolts fit ok, it's unlikely that it's warped that much between the other two bolts.
Again check that all bolts are turned so the cut spot is in the right place.

I'll check that, had to order new sprocket nuts as I replaced mine with red aluminium ones and I striped one. Just thought I could get away without removing the sprocket again.
Thanks

If the bolt head is not aligned properly it will sit on Top of the hub housing instead of dropping down into it, make about a 1/2" difference in the amount of threads that are exposed on the sprocket side. :491:
