Issues! HELP!

[Paul Heim]

The sprocket hub has one bearing.  The wheel has two.  A spacer goes between 
the sprocket hub bearing and the left-hand wheel bearing.  It can and often 
will fall out when you separate the sprocket hub from the wheel to access 
the drive cushions.  If you leave it out when reassembling, you'll see extra 
exposed thread outboard of the axle nut and it will be difficult to get 
enough torque on the nut.  I did this once.  I thought it was odd that it 
was taking so long to tighten and then saw the spacer on the floor... DOH!
