I was following TwoWheelObsession's excellent YouTube tutorial on lubing the shaft drive, but when I was putting the rear wheel back on, I couldn't find the washer that goes between the brake and the swing arm. I'm thinking it's somehow fused to the brake actually. I forgot to take a picture of it with the brake off, I can if I need to, but this is what it looks like now. There's a space there that exposes some of the axle, but it looks like there's a similar space on the bike in the video. Thoughts? 1st Gen '03

There is only one washer and I think you have it in the wrong place. Excuse the dirt, but this is mine.
Put the axle through the swingarm and put the washer on the axle The washer goes between the wide part at the end of the axle and the caliper. Have a look at the parts fiche as well (below).
