There is a large 2 1/2" long x axel diameter sleve that I can't figure out where it came from !!!

I've had the rim off several times and never saw it and this time it was left on axel.

Where does this spacer go??

Returning from Beleize, first flat. 300 mi from texas. Got the flat fixed now this fricking sleve / bushing is killing me!

I don't see where the f'er goes. Call me stupid and...................... wanting to get back in the U.S.

Tire repair went well....... patch failed, he didn't want to pull the tire again so he plugged. Left my tube at home!

On the parts dia. I still dont see it. It's not 5, that's captured between berrings. It's not 12, there is no space, it's too long.

As your looking into the rear end with the wheel off, from the brake side. Grease the tube that your talking about and slide it into the rear end as far as you can get it, with the collar towards the brake side.

Most of the time, this big spacer tends to stay in the final drive pumpkin, but there is nothing preventing it from falling out. And since we're discussing rear wheel changing gotchas, another one is to make sure the carrier that engages the cushions in the wheel hub stays with the wheel hub rather than staying with the final drive. (On a chain drive bike, this piece would be called the sprocket carrier - don't know what it is called on the S10.) As I move the wheel to the right to extricate it from the final drive, I keep a big screwdriver handy to use as a wedge between the final drive and this piece to make sure it stays with the wheel. If you attempt to remove the wheel by disengaging it at the cushions, the cushions tend to go everywhere and can make the wheel very hard to remove.

Good reminder about that tip, Mark. One that I forgot last time that caused me a bit of grief is to put the bike in gear before removing the wheel. It helps to keep the final drive gear in place which has aided me in getting the teeth on the hub to line up with the final drive as I re-install the wheel. It seems that if it is in neutral it may be able to move a bit, making it more difficult getting things to mesh when I am putting it back together.

And the other tip that has been mentioned here before regarding installing the rear axel temporarily from the left side part way in, and then slide the wheel/spline assembly on to the axel to help it line up into the final drive. Remove the axel once wheel is installed and reinstall from the right side. Makes installing the wheel much easier. ::008::

So that's why it took me about ten trys with huge amounts of cussing and sore arms to get my wheel to engage the splines last time I changed the rear tire! Great tip, thanks.
