Greetings,  I'm in the home stretch of rebuilding the front brake system;
new rotors, calipers, pads, splined hubs, brake line hoses, wheel bearings
(have I forgot anything?) and the information I need to know  is about
putting it all back together.  When I disassembled everything there were
three shims on the left side wheel bearings and two on the right.  Do I need
to reinstall these shims with new wheel bearings?  What is their purpose?  I
understand from the service manual about the 4/ 1000ths play in the bearings
so they don't bind (I'm sure I'll be able to eyeball this right!!???) yuk,
yuk.  But seriously, any  advice will be greatly appreciated.  

Buoyant Regards,

Robert Zirpolo
