    • Carefully drop the axle out from the bottom of the wheel.

    • Re-insert the axle from the top side of the wheel, so that the attached nut and bearing and cone set are now sticking out of the top.

    • Now flip the wheel upside down.

    • Insert the remaining 10 bearings into the bearing races on the opposite side.

    • Caution: make sure you insert exactly 10 bearings into each bearing race.

    • Hand tighten bearing cone onto the free end of the axle, so that it touches the bearings without putting any pressure on them.

    • Ideally, there should be no movement or give in the axle when you pull on it or try to wiggle it. Additionally, the axle should be able to spin freely in the wheel, with minimal resistance.

    • Slide the washer onto the axle.

    • Hand tighten the lock nut against the cone and washer.

    • Once in proper position, use the cone wrench and open wrench to tighten the lock nut.

    • Tighten the lock nut VERY tightly. Otherwise the wheel can come out of alignment while you are riding.

    • Check the way that the axle spins in the wheel. The action should be smooth, with virtually no slop when wiggled. If it is to tight or too sloppy then you need to repeat the previous step.

Display and text were really helpful. I was wondering what happened to the sprocket assembly. from steps 1 through 3. This worked fine for the front wheel when I did it, but I'm not sure about working on the rear wheel. Does the sprocket assembly stay on the axle when you take off the lock nut and cone from the other side? Thanks Bob
