Hi Roger,
Some of the reproduction thrust bearings being sold are not as tall as the originals. If you have a copy of Brattons catalog look at part number A3113 (spindle bolt shims). It says the ball bearing used in the repro kit is thinner than the original and therefore shims must be added. Walt also has an original style roller bearing (A3123).
The outer portion of the bearing should not spin when under a load.
Dave
