Default Slight Damage to Spindles

I just replaced my spindle bearings this past weekend and I made a rookie mistake. DOH!! I dinged the machined surfaces of my spindles removing them. I was able to file down the burrs and the wheel bearings slid in place with a little pressure. I got everything back together, but I am worried I ruined my spindles. What do you guys think? Am I ok?

My truck only has 90k on it and my bearings fit so nicely before my handy work so I REALLY dont want to have to replace those spindles. The dealer wanted 300 bucks for each!!!
