Questions:
1. I removed the rear axle spacers before taking my wheel to the shop for a new tire. I'll remember which goes in the right side, which goes in the left. Sure I will!
2. Has anyone gotten them crossed up while changing a tire, and if so, would it even be possible to remount the wheel?
I took a close look at the right and left spacers (the part that is visible once wheel is mounted and torqued to spec. The spacer on the brake rotor (right) side appears to clear the wheel hub by approximately 1/16" The spacer on the sprocket (left) side clears the hub by approximately 3/16".
I no longer maintain a Photobucket account, but if one of you knowledgeable forum members could send me your email address, I could take a couple of pics and send them as an email attachment.
Thanks,
Bob
