Hey guys, in the process of rebuilding my R154 and am having issues figuring out if I have the output shaft center bearing in far enough. Can anyone tell me what I should be measuring between to check the 1st gear thrust clearance?

I'm measuring around .73mm between the inner bearing race and thrust washer, I've put it back in the press a couple times and am afraid to crank down on it any further so any help would be grealy appreciated!

Went back and measured with a dial gauge like the TSRM recommends for the 2nd gear thrust and am getting around .33mm which is in spec, seems like this is probably the best method to use for measuring thrust clearance imho...
