I used Brass shim stock at the lower end to get to the .

Checking the trunnion bearing clearance in place seems like it is going to be 
a difficult task. If I recall correctly, once the upper trunion link is in 
place it is very difficult to remove it again without damaging something. It 
appears that the clearance would have to be checked dry to get an accurate 
reading which means disassembling & lubing the thrust bearings. Can this clearance 
be checked on the bench before assembling everything in place? Also, exactly 
how do you measure the clearance?
Thanks,
