Exercise: Bearing Load

I just did the bearing load exercise from Introduction to Onshape Simulation.  I'm not getting the correct answer, and when I opened the completed document to see what we did differently, they don't have the correct answer either.  

My document - https://rit.onshape.com/documents/d85380680738f5ba2988b73f/w/dffc660453df664d31bec8aa/e/15bf4540cf8b14bc70d85e47?renderMode=10&uiState=63ea4646e3619a3054a2ab60
I get "Sorry, not quite. The correct answer was 6.781e-5 inches. You may refine your model and try again. To see how we did it, make a copy of this public document."

But the Solution - https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8a68fe52debccddc387550f/w/7698ecded69345e28181b293/e/0a7c3cadd20f490dbc759d7c#_ga=2.32974974.136480594.1676296354-422416952.1581082985 gets a smaller value as well.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    After closer inspection of this exercise, we decided to modify the model set to make it more clear how to define a Bearing load, and provide a more repeatable set of steps to ensure a consistent answer with less ambiguity in the design and setup. We have updated this exercise completely, please see it in the course live now.

    I just completed the rocker arm exercise and everything was smooth.  Thanks!
