Depth Gauge

Slow & Easy
GM List. I'm losing my crown bearing(28k miles on 2nd bearing) again and the bike is out of warranty. I've read thru the BMW manual on the shimming procedure. I don't own a depth gauge and need a recommendation for a not to expensive one that can do the job. I want to do a preload on the lite end of the range .002in. Can I trust one from Harbor Freight??? or Sears??

Thanks list
Dave Faria
 
A depth gage is easy to check. Set it / press it on a flat surface (such as a heavy glass plate, or a bench saw table etc) & see that it reads zero properly. If not, offset any readings accordingly. I'd go for the HF one.
