Rear Wheel Installation Qestion ?

I finally got a few minutes and put the rear wheel on the 2004 Ridgeback. I replaced the bearing and got all that taken care of with you help. Appreciated!
I noticed when I was putting everything back together the spacer on the belt side next to the bearing and the one on the other side , next to the bearing as well, one side had a small ridge , not flat like the other side was on the spacer. I put the side with ridge in it next to the bearings on both sides , ( to the inside). I figured I had a 50/50 chance of having it right. But trying to make sure I wanted to ask much more experienced folks before I even take it off the jack, ( where It is still sitting). The little ridge looks like it might sit inside the inside ring of the bearing because it is on the inside of the spacer right next to the axle. Everything else went pretty smooth for the first time I have ever done this, but I noticed the two spacers were not perfectly flat like the other side and the spacer on the other side closest to the exhaust. The first one put on after starting the axle through the frame. Thank you for your help before you even answer.

Thanks again , Ray

Don't you have chores to do?? :eek: ;)

Sounds like my Boss ,,, the wife , Don't you have chores to do ,, makes me Laugh !

I am so glad I don't have to take it all apart again too ! I left all the tools out just in case , I can put them up too! Oh! then I have to cut the yard before the wife gets home , today is my day off since I work Saturdays , off Mondays !
I figured I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right going with the ridge to the bearing since they fell out before I saw the ridge was even there. But not ashamed to ask folks I know are sure of this stuff. I do appreciate your help!

Thanks again,
Ray
