Who did the spindle come from? I see 10K grease pack spindles for sell on ebay every so often. Rebuilt (by whom) or Old New Stock but they never seem to know anything about them. So in other words, they might "fit" in the machine but there are other configuration items you need to know.
I hope you and the vendor get it figured out because they aren't cheap. I'm in the same boat and will be looking for a new or rebuilt spindle for my 4020 soon. Hopefully I can find a reputable vendor.
