Any help with rear wheel bearing instillation?

[Generalbamboo]

We are rebuilding a 1990 vmax and have some questions about the rear wheel.

For parts 2 and 3, i have them pressed together, but when you put them into the wheel there's nothing holding them from falling into the wheel itself?
And also, is the bearing, number 6, suppose to sit on the lip of the flange, number 2?

once u get the needle bearing in it will keep the spacer and flange in there

But number 2 falls straight through the wheel bearing raceway, there's nothing to hold it in place?

The flange of the 2/3 combination is there to simply hold the bushing up so the axle will slide in easier. You could install it without the flange but you'd have to try and pick up the end of the spacer each time you tried to install the axle.

Get the axle in to line up everything when pressing the bearing #6 in.

EDIT1 - Sean you're reading my mind on the other side of the world. I was just about to say that those work together to line up and you beat me to it by some seconds... he he...
