Picked up the larger bolt spindle for my pro because I plan on stretching it and I know the stock one is already somewhat problematic. The diagram for installation shows an extra radial bearing in the grips. Can someone give a link to the bearing to buy?

There isn't an additional raced bearing. The order of the bearings is only different.

There's a diagram when you buy the new FS and Thrust bearing kit. Its just a new arrangement... but the bearing count is the same.

Basically, you have to take the radial bearing out of the blade holder and replace it with the thrust bearings.

Understood, thanks

These are nice and don't bend near as easy as the older ones.

Here is an old thread with a pic of the Align Instructions on page 2.

I don't think I have bent one since I went with these. I wore it out and changed it to tighten things up. I forgot the radial bearing goes on the outside. I have mine in right now the old way with the Thrust bearings on the outside. It works fine either way.
