Are you talking about that big, heavy spacer that fits over the spindle
between the two bearings? I'm not sure that thing is all that necessary with
modern tapered bearings. In any case, once you do have the damn spacer, then
you have to worry a lot about those little shims. If you don't shim it
properly (too tight) you'll get some steering shimy or (too loose) and you
might as well leave the spacer out.
I've abandoned the shims and tightened down the hub just like an old Ford. I
personally don't think they're required with modern bearings. There are any
number of people who will disagree with me, thouogh. Some of it even to do
with cars.
