[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 8364586, member: 20202"] Does the crank freely spin with the caps torqued down? If not, loosen all but one and spin the crank. Repeat this until you checked all five to identify the tight journal. If it does spin freely with all the main torqued try tapping one end of the crank with a rubber mallet to push the crank up against the thrust bearing surface. Then take your measurement. Tap it to the other side and and back again an re-measure. Always measure several times to confirm the reading. If the rubber mattet doesn't have the "umpth" to push the crank put a block of wood between the crank and tap it with a metal hammer. Let us know how you make out [/QUOTE]
