Do I have the wrong parts or do I need to drill out a hole in the sprocket? Do I need to remove the pin?

Rear sprocket change question.
Hello! I ordered some new parts and wanted to put them on. I quickly realized that my new sprocket will not fit as there is a locator pin protruding off my (hub)? I'm not sure the parts name.
Do I have the wrong parts or do I need to drill out a hole in the sprocket? Do I need to remove the pin?

I'd remove the pin. Looks like something the previous owner added. But I could be wrong...My Motorcycles:

Like with pliers or something? It didn't want to come out with my hand strength. It doesn't actually go all the way through the hub.

like others here I've never seen that locator pin on a sprocket hub before. What year and model?'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/

Got it out and new sprocket on. You guys happen to know the torque specs? Also, are the metal locking pads reusable? Or am I ****ing up?

Just looked at your picture. Bend the virgin part of the tab on to the nut. It will be fine.Last edited by storm 64; 10-04-2017, 08:44 PM.My Motorcycles:

The locking tabs are definitely reusable. I use a touch of blue loctite instead myself, looks cleaner and is perfectly secure.
