1.Remove nuts (#7) and bolts (#6) from the center deck carrier frames and remove gauge wheels from the frames.

2.Check spacer location on the other gauge wheels. Note how many and what sizes are above and below the gauge wheel spindle support tube and then place an equal number of spacers (#1, 2 & 3) and sizes above and below the spindle support tube while inserting the gauge wheel spindle into the spindle support tubes.
