Softail Service Manual Diagram

Hey All--Doing some Caliper, Rotor & Pad R&R on the front end of my '99 FLSTS (Heritage Springer), and like a Dumb@$$ I failed to take pix of the axle as I removed it from the hub. Anyway, after nearly 3-days of heavy duty scrubbing, grinding and polishing I've all the pieces and parts back where they need to be (on the wheel and caliper), but I cannot figure out from the SM diagram (Fig 2-6 (p. 2-8) & Fig 2-7 (p. 2-13)) how to get all the spacers & washers back on in the correct order and location. The diagram drawings are not real clear! Does anyone have some good pix--or maybe even a video--showing the correct order and placement of the Spacers, Sleeves, Washers, & Seals. I'm pretty good with the Rightside of the Forks (Springer & Rigid). It's the Leftside that is kicking my butt.

Install bearing into one side, install seal.

Flip wheel over, install sleeve, shims if needed, spacer with shoulder facing out, install bearing, install seal.

Remember, shims go between the sleeve and the spacer with the shoulder on it, the shoulder faces toward the outside.

Does not matter what side the shims and the spacer go on.

Did you replace the bearings, do you need to set end play, if so, no problem it`s easy.
