Divisible sprocket wheel

A method for connecting a divisible sprocket wheel built up from at least two synthetic wheel parts, comprising:

• laying a fastener into a recess in a body part of the first wheel part through an open side of the recess, said recess aligning the fastener with a fastener hole formed in a fastener housing along a centerline;
• urging the fastener in the recess along the centerline towards the fastener hole formed in the fastener housing extending over the at least two wheel parts using a fastening tool reaching through a gear ring opening, said recess having a wider passage than a passage of the gear ring opening;
• and
• fastening the fastener in the fastener housing extending over the at least two wheel parts.

A sprocket wheel comprising:

• at least two wheel parts, at least one of said two wheel parts including at least a portion of a gear ring;
• at least one fastener housing divided over the at least two wheel parts, said fastener housing having a fastener hole extending along a centerline;
• at least one gear ring opening extending through the gear ring and aligned with the fastener hole;
• and
• a recess formed in at least one of said at least tow wheel parts in line between the gear ring opening and the fastener hole, said recess receiving a fastener from a side of the at least one of said at least two wheel parts and aligning the fastener with the fastener hole along the centerline.
