So it's just not shown in the manual then? How is it installed? Where do the two washers go?

Don't know about two washers ,but i think that one washer is necessary between bearings.

With the inner and outer races of the bearings both touching it's not necessary. you only need a washer or collar between two bearings if there is separation between them and then only if there is a lateral load on the bearings.

The washers is for the last shaft screws, or between the shaft to give some backlash for the tail shaft.

I understand that. bad explanation. but think of it like this. Tail shaft needs abit gap between bearings. the two washers u push between the last fastener or what its called. i named shaft( from sweden). but its two m3 screws that holds yhe fastener. u squeeze the two between. Back of the pulley
