canuck,

If you already have the thrust bearing, you don't actually need the slapmaster spacer, you can take the aluminum cone and install it backward so it rests on the OUTER race of the outer hub bearing. the order of assembly wouldl be:

thrust cone (backward, so the big side rests on the outer race of the hub bearing}
thrust race
thrust balls
thrust race
belleville spring washer
diff nut
