I would be interested in hearing that too.

Here goes:
1.     harness wheeler- put tandem turrets on saddle and leader line carriers 
on bridle (whichever type you choose- throatlatch rings, rodger rings from 
grown, or rosette ring type).
2.    harness leader- make sure traces are in carriers.  Run leader lines and 
tie them up onto the harness so they don't fall down.
3. hitch wheeler- have driver in carriage and in control
4. have groom lead leader to stand infront of wheeler (I tie up my leader to 
the fence if possible).
5. run leader lines from lead horse thru wheeler bridle terrets, and then to 
saddle terrets (if using split rein terrets- wheeler lines on bottom, leaders 
on top).  DRiver adjusts lines in hand.
6. hook leader traces to wheeler.
7. adjust trace length & leader line length.
8.DRIVE ON!  have fun and be SAFE
