Annoyingly does not help me understand how the balls are inserted, the only interesting part of the process.

You push the center race to one side and load the balls. You can load up to a point that the race wants to move back to the center and then you have to stop.

Then you evenly distribute the balls around the center race which centers it and if you did everything right, makes a tight fit.

You then clamp a keeper over the balls to insure the spacing stays the same.

Fill with grease.

Press on shields or seals as needed.

Ship.
