1) The manuals say not to raise the eshaft by more than an inch or so to lower the intermediate plate. What would happen if you did? While I was assemblimg my motor, I did not see any ill effects of raising it more than an inch.



2) Do the front thrust bearings need to be greased at all?

if you go more than a inch you'd just pull the e-shaft out of the front stationary gear bearing and have to realign it to get it back in... that's it... I actually put the e-shaft threw the intermediate housing and put the whole assemby in at once myself... no worries about what you did...
