Bernie,
I just cleaned everything up, painted and installed the rebuild kit items (well, most of them). My vise has a threaded section with a ring and grub screw to hold the lead screw in place. Newer models look to have some sort of groove with a split ring in it. There was also an O- ring that was supposed to fit forward of the thrust washer/bearing assembly, but it's diameter was too big for the flange on my leadsrew. Those items stayed in the bag. I had read about the press trick. I didn't do it and my vise came out fine in Z as I mentioned above. Maybe on bigger vises that is more of an issue.
