I am in the process of changing the wheel bearing on my FZR600 wheelset that I have. I've got the rear bearing knocked out of the wheel and will clean it up and paint it before installing the new bearings. I figure its better to clean and degrease the wheel with no bearings in it. What I'm wondering though is what order I need to put the bearings and the spacers in? There are three bearings in the rear wheel itself, I'll do the sprocket carrier as well. Do I start by fully seating the larger single bearing on the disc brake side and then put in the spacer and install the two smaller bearings on the sprocket side or do I fully seat the first bearing on the sprocket side and then install the larger disc side bearing with the spacer until it just contacts the spacer? it doesn't seem that both sides can be fully seated with the spacer in the middle. Any help would appreciated.

I did see the guide on the wall but that is for the front wheel.
