yes.mine went in 3/4's by hand (very easy,slight pressure no banging)
I might have put it all the way in but I felt using the thick washer and clutch handscrew would seat it better and more accurately.

Hi Bill,somewhere's back a few days (wed?) I posted my results.
The 3'rd bearing part numbers were posted too but I am in a
different city
today so can't get to my paper file to get it for you again.
The 3'rd bearing make a big difference if your is one of the g-11's
with the
problem.(easy to tell,lock down dec clutch and manually slew dec.If
it turns
smoothly you don't have the problem...yet.If you feel a shaft
movement it's
because the slack in the beraings causes the clutch to tighten the
axis off
centre and in slewing the shaft breaks free and moves back 10 or 15
arcsecs.)
The 3'rd bearing can come in different lengths but I used a 1" long
bearing
and it made a big difference.

Hi Jimmy
OK, according to your post on sct-user's group #12966, I need bearing
set skf ba2016. Since I don't use digital setting circles, I can seat
the bearings using existing washer set (sans needle thrust bearing)
and
clutch knob. It's as simple as that, right??
