Ok, Here's the pix and steps, easy and simple:
Step 1, Install Slipper Inner Hub, ASC7485 or **ASC7495:

Step 3, Install Spur gear with Slipper Pad in place onto Slipper Shaft:

Step 4, Assembling the VTS Slipper:
Place VTS Slipper Pad #1 into VTS Slipper Housing

Step 5, Install VTS Slipper onto Spur Gear:
Notice the Spur gear has the recessed area for a slipper pad to fit
into, just like when you installed the Slipper Pad into the Spur gear on
the other side. The VTS Slipper Assembly will fit into where the outer
Slipper Pad normally would sit.

Step 8, Slipper Nut (MUST USE TLR NUT!!! AE Nuts will not fit the TLR Slipper Shaft)

This TLR Slipper Tool makes adjusting the Slipper with or without wheels on extremely easy!

Step 9, Installing Gear Cover. You will need to shim the cover to have
the appropriate spacing so it wont bind with the Spur Gear. I've seen
different methods on how to do this, I run on packed clay tracks, so
getting debris into the gears isn't a concern for me, others may use
another method or add some type of gasket to fill the space left between
the motor plate and the gear cover. I glued 3 2mm plastic spacers
together and glued them to the gear cover where the screws go in to hold
the gear cover in place on the motor plate. You may or may not need
more spacers, I dremeled the inside of my gear cover for clearance
issues back when I had the Avid setup on here, so I can't tell you
whether or not you'll need to do the same:
