you're missing a Lock NUT, not a lock washer.
about 5mm of bare axle thread should remain when the proper lock nuts are in place, on both ends of the axle, and Jammed against the Axle Cones that the bearings ride on....
and for the record,, almost ALL front hubs use 10 (TEN) 3/16" ball bearings in each side.
