Do not mix bearing spacers from one deck spindle to
another.
IMPORTANT: If new bearings are installed into a
used spindle housing,it maynot be necessaryto re-
place the original large snap ring. If the original
snap ring is in good condition with no evidence of
damage (e.g. spun bearing), leave the snap ring in
the housing and discard the snap ring that comes
with the new bearings. If the large snapring is found
to be damaged, replace the snap ring.
