1979 frame, here:
I am trying to put my swingarm back in the frame, and I want to do it correctly.
My problem is, I seem to have too many pieces.
This is compounded by the fact that a frame I bought came with the swingarm. I removed that swingarm and put it's pivot pins and bits in a baggie.
Then I recently removed my swingarm to install a new transmission. I also put those pins and washers in a similar baggie.
When I grabbed the baggie to reinstall the pins, I may have picked up the wrong one.
In my extra baggie, I have two pins, one flat washer, and one thin metal - formed washer (not the grease retainer for the inside of the left side).
I am pretty sure I need to remove one of the thick metal flat washers, as it appears I have two in one side, and I just finished moving one of two to the other side.
I just want to know the correct location of the thin, formed washer. I think it is a dust shield for the outside of the bearing. In other words, the correct sequence would be:
- inner race
- bearing
- thin formed washer (dust seal) (one on each side?)
- thick, flat washer
- frame
- pivot pin
Thanks!

Rob, don't know if this will help or not, but it's from RealOEM .

Been there. No, it didn't.
That makes it look like the dust cap goes on AFTER the large washer.

But I guess that is how I will proceed.

I went with balance.
I did find I had two flat washers on one side, and one on the other.
I removed the extra.
Amongst all my parts, I can only find one "dust seal", so I didn't put it on either side.
Tomorrow I may actually ride this thing!
