    They both have a bolt of sort going into the adjuster screw hole in the swingarm, therefore stay in place.

    look just right of the Axle below:

    If you want an easy life you will want some captive spacers as well, I hate trying to get the back on, you get it all lined up leg under the tyre etc then the bloody spacer falls out :(

    Reminds me must get some :)

    Just for a balanced thread the Gilles :)
