So now, I just attached the e-clips on the end.
It has very tiny tiny play , maybe about 0.05mm or even less, it spins forever though.
I am just curious what you guys solution to this? Did you guys shim it or just did what I did?
Honestly with 0.05mm play I wouldn't bother.
Remember play is actually not bad at all!
So long of course it's not 1.5mm
