Promised an update. Got the wheel off. Axle is in perfect shape. Spacer is square with the bearing. Leaving wheel off to clean it and the forks. Again thanks for the help.

When you get everything cleaned/polished up like you want, thoroughly clean, dry and pack the bearings and use new seals. Especially when the mileage (or time) is unknown since last service, it's foolish to not do that. Ever seen wheel bearings welded from neglect? It ain't pretty...

Good deal. Glad it wasn't a problem.

And really, unless some prior owner dicked things up, there's pretty much no way this setup can go wrong. Just clean and re-grease the bearings with each tire change, and they'll last close to forever.
