I'm working on an Amen Savior and I need to testify!! Halleluja! Free parts!!

The 17" is from a 8K. I'm looking at these pictures and I'm hoping that I moved the axle when I took them. They seem to be sticking WAY out on each side. I'm going to measure. While disassembling my suspension, I discovered the previous PO has broken off a bolt in the threaded 7/16" cavity...

I'm not sure what I did, other than switch the wheels again, but this time the 18" seems to be centered. Same 1/2" space on the right. Still snug against the sprocket. Gremlins.

Ha! I figured out how to get the end caps off when I discovered they were called crown nuts. As for the wheel. It's an 18" cb750k4/5. The stock spacer won't fit. There's less than 1/2" space left. And the sprocket side is flush with the spring so there's nowhere to go anyway. I'm stumped.
