You don't hook up a sprocket to a disc brake! If you mean how to mount the rear gear cluster (freewheel) on a rear wheel, a special tool is required to remove the old one, then you just screw on the new one by hand. If you mean something else then you need to explain more clearly or provide some pics.
That requires specialized tools found in bike shops only, you can buy them but that is a one-time expense of about $100 for the tools that you may not use again.
To remove any rear freewheel or cassette you will need to purchase a Park Tool. Park Tool is the best brand when it comes to bike repair. Google Park Tool and you can look through their products. You will need a cassette/freewheel remover. There are dozens of different companies that make hubs and cassettes (gear sprocket). Take a look at yours and see what company made it. You can than find out which tool with properly fit your cassette. These tools are made to fit in a wrench making hand removal easy. Some brands will require a chain whip. The only way you will know which too you need is by find the company name on the cassette/hub. Without this tool removal is virtually impossible. If you need help narrowing down which cassette remover you need you can always let me know the company name and I will let you know the proper cassette tool to purchase.

I assume you're talking about the front belt drive sprocket. First, disconnect the negative side of the battery. If you haven't already done so, you must drain the primary and remove the outer primary cover. Then you must take the engine compensator nut off and the nut that holds the primary chain adjuster. Remove the circlip and pull the clutch adjuster plate out of the center of the clutch. The mainshaft nut in the hole in the center of the clutch. The nut has LEFT-HANDED THREADS on it. Remove the engine compensator sprocket, primary chain, and clutch assembly all together. Then remove the small bolt that holds the jackshaft in and remove it and the coupling. Remove the starter. Then, take the bolts out and remove the inner primary cover. Now, you can see the front belt drive sprocket. You must take the large nut off the sprocket. It too has LEFT-HANDED THREADS. You need a special deep socket and a sprocket locking tool to get the sprocket off and retorque the nut when you put it back on. This is a major job requiring a fair amount of disassembly of the bike. If you're going to change the belt, the rear wheel and swingarm must come out as well. I would high recommend that you purchase a service manual to help with this project.
WOW!!!WHAT A JOKE!MY KID SAVED $470 AND PURCHASED HIS MX 650 ONLY TO HAVE THE REAR FREEWHEEL BREAK THE FIRST WEEK RIDING IT.NND BY SEEING ALOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMWITH EVERYONE ELSE.RAZOR SHOULD' VE AT LEAST PUT A HEAVYDUTY ONE IN IT.OK PEOPLE LETS FIGURE IT OUT IF ANY ONE KNOWS AGOOD BEARING COMPANY,POST IT.MY KIDS BUMMED HE CANT RIDE IT
They have this on the ECHO website. Go to the FAQ page here: http://www.echo-usa.com/faqs/ You can find it by typing in 237. That's the ID # of the answer. Or you can just type in sprocket.
A tool that is like a socket goes in the center of the gears. And keeps the sprocket from spinning
And a special wrench slides over the out side gears grips gears.
Then centrifugally forced the sprocket will unscrew clockwise.
You sort of need those tools.
Or if you are good with tools. One can be made.
