How is the centre bearing checked to see which size shim is required?

Assemble without shims and screws finger tight. Measure gap with feeler gauge. Fit shim a thou or 2 thinner than the gap.
No shim = more preload against snap ring. Won't hurt bearing but may bend snap ring. Generally 1 shim fitted.
Too many shims and bearing can spin in housing.
