Or when the round journal was turned on the hex shaft, normally from .520 to .780. It is only turned from .520 to .720, making the bearing extend .60 farther into the Mini housing. Which was corrected by installing a thinner .220 bearing replacing the .280.
OK, that makes sense now!

Our issue wound up being the plastic housing. I did a few measurements which seemed OK, but I did not measure everything. Swapping it out appears to have solved the problem. That housing went to the dumpster Saturday so we don't use it again.
