RE: Problem?

just sand it and stick new bearings on. you will be fine its not like that spindle has to last 100k.

RE: Problem?

In this case I guess pictures are not worth a thousand words. Does not look like the surfaces the bearings ride on were damaged.

RE: Problem?

I agree. The spindle surface between the bearings is not machined smooth when built. My M715 spindles are the same. They are so rough you can't run a rag over it without a hand full of lent being left on the rough spindle surface.

Or am I missing something in the pictures?

RE: Problem?

I though Id ask what you guys thought, we have extra hubs.

RE: Problem?

Polish them up and you'll be fine.

Make sure the surface the seal rides on is smooth and grooveless. I don't know if redi-sleeve makes one to fit here but somebody should know.

The bearings are not on the tapered part. That could have weld beads on it and it wouldn't matter.
