*The thrust bearing washer with the bigger inner race should be closer to the 

head block.  The thrust bearing washer with the smaller inner race should 

be closer to the rotor blade.  The proper way to install the thrust bearing is 

with the loose balls (open end) of the thrust bearing facing inwards toward 

the center of the rotorhead.  This is so that as the blades spin, the grease 

does  not  spin  outwards  off  the  bearing  carrier  due  to  centrifugal  force.
