Dave,
I'm glad you brought the washer thing up. I'm pretty sure I replaced these bearings last year when I replaced a worn drive shaft. I'm usually very careful to watch the sequence of items when I do the removal and then, just to make sure, I compare what I have to the exploded view in the parts catalog, which, unfortunately, doesn't always match up. And I'll never know if some previous mechanic messed up the order.
Should I trust exactly what I see on plate 20 of the spare parts book?
What you call 'spring washers' I believed are labeled item 7 (disc washers).
Should they be oriented this way: ( ) or this way: )(
There is also an unidentified item between the spring washers and the swing axle.
Same is true for outside bearing, between items 3 and 9.
Any help is appreciated. I'd hate to end up with the same problem when all is done.
As always, ever grateful to a great group.
