Small Problem with my '02 EX500

Wondering if anyone has had the same problem. Took off my rear wheel to get a new tire. No problem. I was sure to keep the axle and all the spacers in the right order for re-installation.

Got everything back together and adjusted the chain tension before I tried spinning the rear wheel. It is binding somehow and dose not turn as freely as it did before I took it apart. I've broken it down again, put a little axle grease on the axle [of course] checked the spacer placement against the shop manual and the Clymer Manual as well. Everything appaers to be in order.

HELP ME! the weather just broke here in Rhode Island and I have some serious miles to catch up on.

If someone could post some close-ups of the axel from the back of the wheel so I can see a woking rear axel it might shed some light on my problem.
