Replacing taper bearings complete necessity for a rebuild?
So I'm working on getting all my parts together for a rebuild and wasn't sure on replacing all the bearings in the case. I don't know much about these taper bearings; is there a way to tell if they should be replaced? At $300 bucks it's not exactly a small cost. I have to at least replace the ones on the intermediate shaft because they got messed up on removal.
Can I simply reset the preload and be done with it? I haven't heard much about people having ruined bearings when they open the case. I want to do a good job on this rebuild so I'm leaning toward spending the dough but if there is really no reason other than being able to say how much money I threw at it then I'd rather not.
Thanks
Antoni
