This should be easy for you folks- ok I was watching YOUTUBE to learn to put a new cassette on freehub and it was so easy I decided to take it a step further and remove freehub to repack 10-14 year old bearings.Well the cone is 15mm and I got in a hurry and put the 16mm on and it turned inside the spanner and in removing the wrong size spanner I boogered up the wider of the 2 spacers (like 3/8th" thick) -the cone seems fine as does the axle but spacer is peeled back in 2 spots and appears to be warped as it won't roll very well on bench. Is there a whole kit or can I get just a spacer.I am learning so I am not after the cheapest kit but mainly want to know if a kit is what I am after or can the spacer be found. I have this horrible feeling that I will return to bike shop (hat in hand) and ask if they have a used spacer as I wrecked mine using the tools they sold me.Is it called a cone spacer? This is NOT super bad as a complete new rear wheel can be had for $43 and I will be back in business in no time,I just want to learn as much as possible from my mistakes.

Spacers just take up space. They don't need to be round. The bike I just worked on last night has a spacer between cone and locknut in order to extend the locknut out past the inside of the freewheel. Is that the sort spacer you are talking about?

Most old-time LBSs will have a drawer full of assorted spacers you can choose from. Cost, if any, will be minor.
