Bearing Sleeve/Spacer Clarification

[Charles]

Hey guys, it's been about 6 months since I took my rear wheel apart and now I can't remember how the spacers and sleeve fit together. This guy:

He slides completely into the larger bearing?

yep, on the left side of the bike

Yeah, I looked at the exploded drawing, but that didn't tell me if needed to slide the sleeve in the bearing or not.

Ok, another question...how do you guys handle the spacer between the bearings? There's a decent about of lateral room in there and it doesn't look like the spacer slides in/on to anything. How do I prevent it from falling from between the bearings?

 

[drewpy]

the bearings when driven in fully will hold the central spacer in place

Ok..cool. Just wanted to make sure before I seated them and had to possibly fish around for a spacer.

Should be doing a write up on my rear disc conversion soon.
