    So I have been having an issue with the lights on my dash. ABD sensor, traction control, Passenger airbag are on all the time and on my cluster the MPH, speedometer, mileage, and the temp, doesnt work, the only thing does work on my cluster is my gas gauge.
    I have replace my will speed sensors. And I tackled the rear wheel bearings on my own, which let me say has been a PIA!!! I rented a tool from O'reilly's which I was told, would work on my bearings to remove them. Which cost me $375 and It did not work. I called around Locally to see if anyone had the tool that I needed without any luck well. I then called around to a few shops to see how much they would charge me to press out the old bearings and press in the new bearings, which let me say way more than i am willing to pay. I wasn't gonna go that route so since no one had the tools I needed and instead of waiting and buying 1 online I decided to welded one together, which worked perfect and as for the press. I did not have one either so Welded one together and pressed out the bearings... but here's the problem I pressed on the new bearings and the outer racer/retainer as well. I put my truck back together and just to be safe i want to double check everthing before i drove it so i watched a few more videos and did some research. As i was doing this 1 video caught my eye with somebody putting in a washer. And then it dinged on me that when I Pressed off the old wheel bearings there was a washer. Does anyone know about this washer???? From what I've saw they, pressed on the new wheel bearings with a washer in between the bearing and outer racer/retainer. I'm scared that I may have screwed this up and pressed on my new bearings and outer racer/retainer without this washer. But like I said, I've watched. Many videos. Ended a lot of search, and I only came across one video that showed this washer..

    Thank you so much. So I guess I will have to cut off the new racer/retainer just to put that washer on and buy a new racer/retainer to put back on. Don't think I have much of a choice here on that one. Thank you so much for your help and time I greatly appreciate it
