well that's what i have always done. the weak link when hitting the crank ends is going to be the friction between the bearing inner race and the shoulder/journal of the crank. giving it a 'slap' one way measuring, then slapping the other works for me. it also straightens the bearings which is why i can say that i've slapped cranks since 1977.

the 501 MX i did last year that was a '00 had a 6205 open roller on the right just as you say. it also had a collar on the left that the nut pulled hard on and drew the crank hard left against the bearing.
my "slapping" system works, i just didn't realise that i was the only one that did it?
