to make sure the bearing is in the right position.
Slide the wheel with the valve stem facing out to the wheel 
axle and the other roller bearing, then put the wheel washer 
against the bearing. Use a 32mm socket to tighten the axle 
nut completely.
Spin the wheel clockwise or counterclock wise to ensure
