    I'm not sure which goes where, but you'll know right away when you put the axle back. The wheel will be off center.
    Or take a look at the worn pattern and try to match it to the spacer hub.

    Are you greasing the wheel bearings? I'm pretty sure they are sealed bearings and aren't greasable.
    If they feel rough when you spin them in your hands then you need to replace them!
