maybe missing 2 ball bearings

nope, just 1, supposed to be 21, I only count 20. I can reuse the ones I removed, they just need to be cleaned up

Well that was fun. I will say this, if you want to keep your sanity when doing the assembly, then buy some rare earth magnets, I bought some from Amazon for $12. IT saves a ton of aggravation as it holds the bearing out while you install the rest of the clutch

i count 20 in the pic

I double checked just to be sure.

Well almost to the finish line! My new sticker plate came in, not identical to the old but hey the old girl is getting on in years. Degreased and cleaned up the top half.

That finish came out real nice.
