Rear wheel spacer
-
What happens if you don't put the spacer back in when you change rear wheel bearings and seals I only ask because it's sized on the axle and after loads of time I cut the axle and used loads of heat and penetrating fluid to get it out and have a new axle does this affect performance and/or reliability

@jimmydc98 or if you can find a piece of pipe the same size as the spacer and cut it to lenth if not as long as it sits up against the inner part of the bearing
The hills are alive with the sound of ... braaaap baaaaap 😁
