I don't use the spreader. I have just enough preload where it takes a couple of taps with a plastic mallet to get the spool into the housing. I dont run much preload on the pinion either. Doing it this way there is little to no drag. I have been getting great gear life well over 1000 runs. Running either 6.17 or 5.86 ratios depending on the engine combo.
