edit; I guess I should have read your previous more thoroughly because I now realize you already made a setup bearing !
Thank you for taking the time to comment, I'm kind of flying blind here and reliant upon others knowledge and advice. I'm glad you are reinforcing the information I have picked up so far, it is reassuring.

Thank you again!
