Yeah you should be golden as far as spindle clearance. Whatever extra material is left will naturally grind itself away.

thanks for the early morning quick response Tyler......turning feels smooth.... large radius (in my garage) brake lines are a lil extended at lock but not seemingly stressed... triple checked and re torqued the bearings after checking for play with just the rotor, then the wheel, play eliminated, smooth roll... if I can get a few more confirmations that I should chill and get the rear end banged out, awesome!!!
I'm a lil for the details..
thanks all!!

Your brake lines should be fine, my ABS sensor was a little too tight I I just unhooked the first little connector but other than that you're fine.

Now.....

Pics?
