Was reading thru the manual with regards to changing the needle rollers in the top arms. It states that they should be fitted into the arm a certain depth. Does anyone know what this magic figure is??? Any help appreciated.

push them in untill they butt on the shoulder inside

Thanks. The ones I pulled out were only just inside the arm, maybe .005" below the surface. I guess it's not that important then where they sit??

yeah it does matter-->

there`s a shoulder "INSIDE" that they butt against (the inner end of the bearings would butt against this shoulder).

that should then place the outer edge of them just inside the ends of the arms
