Here is a write-up by Grigg."6.5 test fit your spindle and the thrust bearing over the axle, fit any shims necessary to take up the gap on the top side of the axle. Don't pound and wedge it together but also don't leave any gap a shim will fit in. (in my case no shims were necessary but before it would fit together nice and snug I had to remove the burs and wear ridges as previously mentioned.)" Here is an excellent "Tech Tip" on king pin replacement, by Randy Baumann.
