Oh boy, I've got a lot of learning to do!

Thank you all for responding!
I *think* it's the same as the front wheel now. I'm concerned that it appears right, but I didn't follow the instructions. Or the instructions were off for what I was doing.

I put the wheel on the frame to attempt to true it- at first, half the wheel pulled to the left- I set the wheel on the ground and pressed all around in both directions- now it seems the whole wheel is off to the left.

To be honest- I got farther than I thought I would- I think I'm going to take this into a shop to and stick them with un-****ing this.
