I just wanted to check before I put em in. It doesn't look like the spindle tapers where the bearings sit, I didn't see anything in the manual, but its not very detailed
 
The bearings do not have a taper. There is a spacer that is tapered between the two bearings.
 
The bearings are pinched between 2 collars by a nut pre loaded to 51ft
