Send help. Reinstalling this wheel. It spins but is so stiff and stops instantly. I think I have the washers or something in the wrong order. Help would be greatly appreciated.

You need hub spacers probably 120 millimeter
Unsure of how the axle should be assembled, but I’m wondering if too much chain tension could be going your way trouble.
Your cones might be done up too tight? On most of these hubs the left-hand cone is keyed into the brake arm, and if you took the locknuts off it would’ve been easy to accidentally spin it in or out.
If that’s the case, the way to fix it is to take the wheel back off again, loosen the nuts outboard of the brake arm, spin the arm counterclockwise to loosen, and tighten the locknuts again. Repeat until the the wheel spins freely but doesn’t wobble.
edit:
It’s probably not the washers, they don’t touch the hub shell, the part that actually spins. They only touch the cones, which should be stationary.
