Thanks Ruffus

My husband has just come in from the garage having fitted everything in the order you’ve said and taken the scooter for a ride round the block. All is good 😀

He will definitely take better notice when dismantling any parts in future!

Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks so much Ruffus, looks like I will be dismantling again tonight ;)
 
With the wheel off, I have a long spacer/collar identical to the one on the left of Iahawk's photo. Does that spacer/collar press up against the small spacer that I now need to fit on the INNER side of the  swingarm?
Looking again at the link of the manual that RJS987 put in his reply, it  shows the small spacer as being on the outside of the swingarm. However, maybe this is simply to illustrate the parts, not the precise location or way round that they need to be fitted?

In the manual, the text referring to the removal of the rear wheel doesn't mention the small spacer but maybe this is because it usually comes off with the swingarm, whereas mine has come out?

Thanks so much for all your help guys. Looking at the parts again as you suggest makes us pretty confident that the spacer fits as you say. Thanks for the pic of your set up Iahawk. Mine has the spacer that is shown on the left in your pic, then wheel / spacer as discussed / washer / axle nut. My husband has now put it back together and it certainly looks correct. Our max speed limit on the island of Guernsey is only 35mph but good to know it’s also how torqued correctly, thanks 😀

Thank you both for your replies, really appreciate your time.
What confused things for us is that we found a youtube post for the fitting of a rear wheel on a Kymco Agility 125 and the guy actually makes a point of displaying a photo showing the order of nut/washer/spacer but shows the spacer with the small end facing out. We also found a schematic diagram which possibly shows it facing the small end out (difficult to tell though). However, that bike must be different as the washer definitely can't be placed on the small end of the spacer and as you say, it wouldn't seem right due to the size of washer. There would be enough thread left to fit it with the large end first but I also think you are correct in pointing out the wear markings.
Thanks for the info re torque value as we were reading so many varying opinions!

Hi, thank you for accepting my request to join. I'm hoping someone can help.
My husband had to remove the rear wheel on my Kymco Super 8 125 but when he has come to put it back on, he has made a schoolboy error by not taking note of which way round the spacer in the photo goes onto the axle :-\ . If he fits it with the smaller diameter part of the spacer facing the scooter, it fits recessed within the seal in the swingarm. However, if he fits it the other way round with the larger diameter part of the spacer facing the scooter, it presses against the seal in the swingarm, which way round is correct? Also, can someone please give us a definitive answer as to what ft/lb the rear nut should be torqued to. Thanks.
