I need help! I have an 08 ULY and decided to do the 3 bearing wheel conversion. I bought the new wheel and the kit and had The dealer install the bearings and spacer before I picked it up. When I put the wheel on it was super stiff and didn't spin easily and the belt was super tight. I then attempted to install the break caliper ( I removed it from the swing arm with the 2 big bolts) that it didn't fit and that the caliper mounts were actually hitting the disk! Something is not right. Is it possible the new spacer is too short? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You are probably missing the thin spacer that sits on the end of the wheel on the brake side.

No, the small spacer is installed.

The dealership I bought from helped me figure out that I have had the spacer bushing on the wrong side. BUT the reason I did so was because 1) that's the way it showed up out of the box and 2) it fits snug I a recess on the pulley side but just sits loose on top of the bearing on the disk side. Is this normal?
