Sanding thrust bearing; the obvious (and overlooked?)

[rob hod]

   Well the original query was from a lister (name IDRC) who had a pair of
thrusts supplied by a race shop to fit a crank they reground. They didn't
fit. They didn't want to help. I've responded to some obvious bad advice.
Your advice hasn't helped him any more than my 'bad' advice.
