More data:

There are currently two top shims @ 1mm and .5mm (total 1.5mm)

I am assuming I need to remove some thickness to increase preload.

If I'm currently at 2.5 lbs of pre-load and I need to get between 4 and 8 lbs, how much shim should I remove? .5mm? 1mm?

I have a few extra new cone washers (they get mucked up pretty good when I remove them and I ordered too many) so experimenting is not out of the question, but I'd rather get it right the first time... anyone with experience in this area?
