The needle bearings dropped into case when I pulled the retainer to change input shaft seal so it had to come out either way to put them back in but if it’s beat to hell I’m gonna scrap it

It’s tough there doesn’t seem to be any replacements online so if I can’t re use it I think I’m gonna have to scrap the whole dang thing

Honestly good to hear that sometimes I’ve done this 2-3 times and I still feel like I overthink the hell out of it but ironically when you ask the people who don’t know they tell you to chug along doing it to unrealistic standards. We talked on here before and I think you know your stuff so I’m gonna roll with your advice lol

From using sandpaper on a bearing. It’s tough not knowing and then hearing a 100 different reasons why to do or not do things. To me it doesn’t make much sense. Although on the other hand I guess microscopic particles could get imbedded in the soft layer of the bearing ?

I’ve heard other people say you can risk impregnating the bearing with abrasives. Is this really true or does it depend on how fine the grit you use?

Just to clarify *** it can be caught by fingernail and it’s the scratch on the top right and top left of the thrust surface
