I'm hoping somebody can help me over the issue of the washer which is supposed to go between rear hub inner and the bearing.
I'm putting together an axle from bits and don't have any washers to look at. The question I guess is whether they are needed or not? I seem to remember that they are needed to ensure correct fit of bearing in hub, but can't find confirmation of this. What I can't establish is whether the washer fits between hub and bearing or is it between bearing centre and axle casing? Obviously it can only fit tightly between one of the two!
I am using sealed bearings so leakage of oil/grease not an issue here.
See Cornwall site for line drawing - unfortunately too low res to answer the question.
Sorry for wordy post. Seeking guidance thanks..
