Guess there isn't much in the way of quality control in those items when manufactured. I didn't have those issues plenty of clearance to the spool and the star washer held it in place firmly. Glad to hear it spooled on ok, not sure if keeping tension on the line while spooling may have helped. Hopefully when your fishing it and reeling under normal circumstances it continues to spool evenly. I had spooled my line previously with the bail still in place then made that mod. The cone shape (more line spooled on the bottom than the top) was definately noticeable on my spool of 40 lb power pro after fishing it a couple of times.
I just made my latest mod earlier this week. I bought another bail arm, roller and lock nut. I cut the bail arm similar to the factory bail less mod and bolted it back in place, screwed in the original nut from the other end (the one from the bail arm after it was cut free) for counterweight. Now it is back to the smaller original size roller. The size difference in rollers is more than double. I like my new mod now respooled with 20# fireline.
