The crank sprocket slides over the crank snout, aligned with the keyway on the crank. You can use a short piece of pipe to drive the sprocket onto the crankshaft.

As for the crank hub, use a Grade 8 threaded rod, some washers, and a bolt to push the hub onto the crank snout.

Read again. He didn't say bolt. Use a high grade threaded rod, nuts and washers. If you pull it on with a bolt, you risk stripping the crank threads. I'm sure you don't want to do that, do you?

Yes, tighten the threaded rod by hand into the end of the crank. Line up the hub then use the nut to "push" the hub all the way on the crank.
