    It seems I have read here somewhere that the spacers should be replaced along with bearings.
    Am I imagining this or is that the recommended way to go?

    Only if they are damaged. Just clean and reuse.

    the manual states to replace 'em, but could be reused if not damaged when removing the bearings. my OCD won't let me reuse:D but that's just me and my profession in aviation to be meticulous in replacing parts when it states to do so.

    That's why I'm asking here thrstrmech, I am very much like you. If I have it apart, I should replace all I can!
    But I also realize that's pretty silly sometimes, so I rely on the experience and expertise of the fine folks here to talk sense into me.
