The spacer thingy is there to ensure that the wheel bearings are properly
pre-loaded to remove their inherent play (you need the right shims to make
this adjustment). This is more important on ball bearings than it is on the
tapered rollers, but I would put the spacer back.

When converting to tapered wheel bearings do I need to put that conical
spacer thingie back in the hub?
