If you mean the axle spacers, surely there are only two, one each side? That makes only two ways they can be fitted, so odds are you'll get them right first guess! Let us know if I am wrong.

+1 - if you get them backwards it's pretty obvious, as the brake rotor won't line up correctly with the caliper.

I think the little one is on the right. And as said, if I'm wrong it will be obvious very quickly.

Edit: Confirmed the small spacer is on the righthand side. The larger one is on the rotor side.
