removed Tire, where does this bit go?

[Jambobwana]

Hello everyone, I am new here..

I am changing the tires on my S10 and decided to take the wheels off myself rather than taking the bike to the tire place..

I found a great post here on what to do and all went well.... except I am left with a rubber piece left over and I don't know where it came from.

I've attached a photo - any ideas?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

If you feel inside the swingarm towards the front right part, that's where it goes. Run a small bead of RTV silicone on it so it doesn't fall out again. It's just a hole from when the swingarm was casted...no other functional purpose for it being there.

Thanks Karson, I appreciate the response. I can see exactly where it is meant to go - It looks obvious now. I was looking at the parts I had removed, the wheel hub, the brake caliper and it was driving me mad. I'm glad I asked as I'd hate to have water filling up the swing arm. And I'm grateful to you for your reply.

Cheers, Jim
