Subject:Rear wheel bearing spacer, replacement always necessary?
From:Mike Collum

I see that most vendors offer replacement rear bearings and seals but
not the bearing spacer.

Is it really necessary to replace the spacers or is that only for when
the rear bearings have "Really" become worn and things have loosened up?

Have any of you replaced the rear bearings only to learn later that you
should have replaced the spacers, too?

The archives are somewhat sparse with related information though I do
see where Frank Condelli recommends replacing them as a matter of course.

Thanks,

Mike
