Default I think I messed up.
Hi, being in a rush I nicked my main thrust bearing with a razor knife. I assume its junk now?


Thank you for your help.

No, not really a problem. Just clean it up with a diamond pattern file and it'll be fine.

No real risk. Think of how a bearing does its job. The scratch, if smoothed over, is of no consequence to the life of the bearing at all.
