olie05 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I just talked to the guy at the machine shop, and he said that I have to clearance my thrust bearing to fit (for front to back movement). He said that I could either do it at home or he could do it for me. Do you think that a file and micrometer gauge will be adequate or should I take it back to the machinist and get it milled perfectly?

Clifton Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I used a sheet of I think 400 grit sandpaper on a smooth surface and held both shells and went at till they fit. I checked them with the calipers as I was sanding to make sure I was getting them even. I rotated them 90* every so often also. Came out fine.
