Spindle damage?

[TremecFox90]

Hey guys, I have a 1990 Fox with a 5 lug conversion (94-95 spindle) I’m rebuilding my suspension and while taking my spindle off I bumped the bearing surface just a little bit and it has a very small knick in it... I know completely smooth is how it needs to be, but would this tiny little knick make a difference in the way the bearing rises? I am thinking I should take some 400 grit sandpaper and lightly touch it up. Any thoughts? The side pictures are hard to see it because it’s so small even though it looks pretty big from the front. I plan on getting these sandblasted at some point also

Just make sure there's nothing sticking up and send it

Knock it down with a file and run it.

What these guys said.

Sweet! That’s what I was thinking. Just wanted to hear it from someone else. Appreciate it!

It’s just a slip fit with the hub bearing inner race, but it doesn’t actually have a bearing roller ride on it.

Just knock it down so the hub can slide on/off easily

and use emery cloth (1500 to3000) rather than your 400 after you file the nub smooth for that factory fresh look
