Front wheel assembly
Does any one have a picture of what the axle assembly should look like. I'm kind of confused because one of my books says it takes two wheel bearings and the other says only one is required. On top of that the book mentions a 'cup', its been so long since I took her apart that I can't remember what the cup looks like. My problem is that when I put it together the drum rubs against the stationary portion of the brake housing. This is for a 1971 FLH.
Thanks in advance!

FYI _ They do take 2 wheel bearings . 1 on each side of the rims hub.Depending on the year it may be a serviceable bearing with a race or a sealed one piece bearing.
I do not have much luck with posting diagrams/pics on here , so if you want one send me your e-mail address and I will send you the diagram from the parts book.

There is a roller bearing in the drum and one in the wheel hub Did that bearing spacer fall out(between the bearings kind of long ) or did the spacer on the outside of the wheel hub bearing fall out ?

Spacer did fall out
Thanks alot, that's exactly what happened, I replaced both bearings with the all ballz bearing and included the spacer and everything works like a charm, thanks guys for your replies.
