Sorry, I could have used a better term. I meant that the spindle freed up. My assumption (I know, never ...) is that with the reduced torque on one side, the bearings have a little leeway to adjust. But no, I have not checked its torque setting again. Will do.

And I agree that at some point I should (will) have the BB shell reworked.

BTW, I was at GSFC, not JPL.
