I'll be changing wheels later this week in preparation for EOM.....don't want to be showing steel threads in the back tire half way thru EOM you know........so I'll take a look. I swear I don't remember seeing this spacer before. The axle has to go thru it to hold it in place. Could it normally be inside the wheel?

Y'know, lookin' at that there picture, dropping the forks would seem like a viable alternative for someone (like me) who doesn't have a method to improvise a sling.
I didn't. Depends on what you have to lift it with. I tossed a strap over the rafter and used the chain hoist, but in a pinch a come-a-long would work too. There isn't a lot of weight to lift w/o the motor there. It becomes more of a wiggle to the right angle job when getting things lined up again.
We'll see how it goes. Still several days away from that point. Gotta spend a couple of nights pulling and labelling electrical connections.
This all brings back memories of a ground-up resto I did on a Fiat once. Whadda waste of time THAT was! :lol:

Nope. The OD of the thinnest part of the collar is too big to fit in the wheel, but the OD of the flanged end is too big to fit inside the diff.
It looks like the only place that spacer/collar COULD go is right where I put it for this pic:
Keep an eye open for it when you re-rubber.
T'anks.

Keep Wigglin Howie, just sayin'...
The spacer does go in the diff where you have it Howie. Doesn't normally fall out unless you take the diff off and tilt it. BTDT.
If you pull the forks, just come up with a plan to hold the bike up after that. Front wheel and center stand were there for me once I got the motor in.

A couple of years ago I had all the plastic off and the air box out of my FJ. I thought about dropping the engine out, just because I like to take things apart. Kind of glad I didn't now!
