Th rason this is so important is the bearing is made in a mold. THEREFORE EVERY ONE IS OFF! Who would even think to check? I got lucky here. What we did was spin an arbor on a lathe and then put the bearing on the new arbor. We then found it was off .005. We cut it down and centerede it. We then cut a step into the bearing. We made a sleeve for it with a step. The step is needed so the bearing doesn't fall out of the sleeve when pressing it in
