GXP (the spindle interface) and BSA (the threading) are all you need to know. The spacers are for resolving chainline discrepancies, usually on mountain bikes that have a variety of rear axle standards now. Follow the instructions for use of the wavy washer and seals when reinserting the crank spindle.
