What is the difference between 5R and 5L non-turn washers?

Do I need any special tools to install this kit?

Troubleshooting
Wheel slips or rotates in the dropout
Ensure the non-turn washers (5R/5L) are correctly positioned and fully engaged within the track dropouts. Verify that the cap nuts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
Difficulty fitting hub into dropouts
Confirm that your frame has compatible horizontal or 20-degree dropouts. Ensure no debris is present in the dropouts or on the hub axle. The kit is specifically for Alfine Di2 hubs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation involves fitting the non-turn washers (5R/5L) against the dropout, followed by the hub's axle and securing with the provided cap nuts. Ensure the non-turn washers are properly seated within the track dropouts to prevent the wheel from spinning. Refer to the official Shimano Alfine Di2 installation manual for detailed instructions and torque specifications.
