Atlas Spindle

Took a look at the spindle bearings today.  The front has a bit of scoring but should not matter.  What does matter is that it had an .008 shim in the back and a .003 in the front.  Removed the .080 to get a good fit.  

The back bearing cap was not tight.   When I snugged it down the spindle did not turn.   
The back cap would not come off.  Need to back off the thrust nut on the back.  Was too late so its a tomorrow thing.
