    Ok I finally got my wheel bearings in for my front wheel on my '82 xj750rj (Seca)!!!
    While reading the very precise directions Chacal gave me. It clearly states to be sure to...

    Remember to place the inner spacer between the bearings, and make sure to re-install or acquire the proper SPACER FLANGE for your application and model. This thin, flat, flanged spacer fits over one end of the spacer tube, and is vital to proper wheel bearing orientation and performance. Because it is so small, it is easily lost or mis-placed during wheel dis-assembly.

    So is this flange a seperate piece or is this the thin flange on the spacer???
    It seems that there may have been a thin "washer" looking piece that I may have wrote off as being a part of a disenegrated bearing.
    I really don't want to put this back together to find out that I have to do it all over again due to one silly little piece of metal!

    PLEASE ADVISE

    Thanx Wizard!
    I have been looking at the same exploded view only @ Babbitts.
    I am still scratching my head tho. I think it looks like it is the thin piece attached to the spacer

    I just looked at my spare 750 front wheel and there is a washer on the center spacer. I think your good to go
