Need some advice on my Thorens retoration

Ive been working on getting my TD165 all restored and better than new condition. Im wondering about the bearing. It has the 10mm spindle/bearing which is good i thought most of them had the smaller 7mm. Anyways when i look down the bearing there seems to be some wear on the thrust pad where the spindle makes contact, a little indent. There are two sellers on ebay that sell upgrade/replacement thrustpads for these tables. One seller is in Germany and makes a hardened metal pad the other is in the UK ands sells a teflon pad. They are both pretty inexpensive at around $10. Should I go for the metal or the teflon thrust pad upgrade?? Does the old thrustpad come out or do you just put the new one on top of it?? Anyone treid these upgrades??
Thanks
