I`d bet there`s no spacer & you will only need to "Nip" the bearings till there`s no play & spin free,,, slip the split pin , set & i forget it, job done. easy-peasy

Let me get this right...You can set up the rear taper rollers minus the bearing spacer in between? I'm reading that right?? I never new....


But I'm a fan of "I paid for it and it damn well is going in" :lol:

Yep, as I said above you can leave it out & treat it just like a Hord or Folden front wheel bearing... hand tighten until slack is just gone, then pin it.
