The stock was a perfect print, nice and smooth. However, the situation was different for the storekeeper. That would not work with a 12 ton press. It was beyond the limits of tolerance to be pressured. Luckily I'm a machine shop owner and made a big chamfer on one end of the retainer and I also had to drill .002 to bring it to spec so I could press the bearing retainer onto the shaft. Hench reason for the 3 star rating. I am satisfied with the bearing, the retaining ring is not very good. I'm hoping someone from amozon sees this and sends me another axle box assembly as I was very disappointed with how far out of tolerance the holder was.
