Oooops! Your stuffed now! You shouldn't do that unless you know what your'e doing, but I'm not one to talk; so...

If you have a good understanding of mechnical functions (I guess you do as you managed to get the whole lot apart), most of the re-assembly you should be able to figure out, the parts were designed by men, so there's no reason why you can't put it back together.

You will need cone spanners for the bearing cones (narrow spanners, 15, 17, 19mm), these can be a beaatch to do, but.

Make sure all threads are clean and oil the lock nut to stop it gripping the axle too much.

Remove the wheel. (if it ain't already!) Tighten the lock nut onto the cone nut (it has a polished, curved surface -arrange so that this surface is facing inwards) on one side of the axle using 2 cone spanners (one on either nut, clamping them together), leaving enough room for the axle to sit in the dropouts either side of the wheel. Put the bearings into the bearing races/cups on the hub shell using grease to hold them in place - they will stick to the grease!
Then slide the axle through the hub shell and screw the cone nut onto the other side by hand; then wind on the lock nut, align the cone nut so that there is no wobble with the axle and the axle turns round perfectly smoothly, now clamp the cone nut in place with the lock nut using 2 cone spanners (one to stop the cone nut from moving)- all very well, but the axle might turn with the lock nut, if this is the case then try and clamp the axle in place (without damaging the thread) so that the axle doesn't turn.

If you have cartridge bearings, then you may need to use an appropriately sized socket (to line up with the OUTER shell of the cartridge) with a mallet/vice to press the bearings in.

As for the rim/spokes/nipples e.t.c. you can try this yourself but it is hard! You may need to refer to another wheel for spoke patterns, do not use radial (spokes do not cross over each other, they go strait out parallel to each other) spoke alignment for rear wheels as they cannot withstand the torque from the drive train as well.

Rimming is greater hassle-loose among gay men. that's the place a guy makes use of his tongue on yet another guy's anus (and no, that's no longer vile and disgusting, because of fact maximum gay men are sparkling and particular. And, the anus, if suitable wiped sparkling, has much less bacteria than the mouth). The journey is rather sensual for the two events and is a robust way for relaxing in the previous intercourse. little question some rapidly couples do it too.

Did you remove the spokes from the wheel, or just the bearings? And is it the front wheel or the back wheel?
