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
