HELP REAR WHEEL INSTALL

Sounds like you are not lined up quite right.

Run the axle all the way through without the caliper or spacer, so you can lift the wheel with the swing arm on the axle.

Once it is on the axle, off the ground, it should line up and go all the way in.

It seems lined up prior to fully engaging, but there is still a gap at the hub / wheel connection.

Once it is full engaged, that seam will be flush and there will be plenty of room to get your spacer in there.

Now, once it is on, lower the bike so the tire just touches the ground. You need to back the axle out to get the spacer on and such, without letting the wheel un-seat.

I have also had luck seating the wheel with no axle and then running the axle once everything is already lined up.

It is just a matter of getting it lined up right, both in terms of rotation and flat to the hub.

Good luck.
