How the F did he think his tire was lined up in first place after he put the tire/rim back on??? WOW... this is why some people should just have dealerships do their work to their cars/bikes.

But if you're dumb enough to do above, you're dumb enough to not notice that for 3500 miles either.

I would imagine that the rear would wobble pretty bad, but at the same time I can see how if yo ignore a new wobble or sound that is ignored for a few miles can turn into a normal feeling.

This is also the reason that when I'm doing vehicluar work I put stuff like nuts and bolts and spacers in either a magnetic tray or a small plastic shop box

Yeah I use a muffin pan... bigger than an ice cube tray. Plus it's metal.

I've taken a couple of bikes apart and put them back together again.

My personal method is zip-loc bags. For assemblies like the rear spacers, etc. I use zip-ties and zip-tie everything in order.

That fella above needs to stick to paying people to work on his bikes.

I use zip lock bags, small boxes, zip ties, anything to keep stuff together. As long as nothing gets lost
