The smile came back to my face. Also the Thrust bearing stated to look fresher
Ummm, perhaps that explains why I got so lucky with thrust bearings...
Yup, Motoman's explanation about cooking the thrust bearing sounds logical. But that does not preclude that other factors like excessive end play, not lubing the thrust bearing and wrong installation of the Centax would not destroy the Centax thrust bearings...
