Can't get rear wheel back on right? GRR!
Feel like the world's worst mechanic here, done this several times, but I just can't get the rear wheel back on right- it's on now, but the bolts heads on the belt pulley are hitting the swingarm.
There is no more space for another spacer, I can't figure it out?!!!
Help?
Steve

Spacers are on wrong side. Pulley side gets the longer of the two. Why was the wheel off?

I changed out the rear tire- now that makes sense!
Thanks,

Mine has two spacers on the sprocket side to accomodate wider tire. I imagine if you look at the tire from the back it is not centered with your current spacing.
