Moving my LSC dial does seem to have an effect when the blue dial is in the middle position, but it doesn't click, it just turns smoothly form one extreme to the other - is that normal?

Yes there's a pair of detent/detant ball bearings with a single spring that sits near the top of the ls shaft, if it pulls out or blows out if compressed without caps on the balls and spring fire themselves out into the ether

Presume it works fine without? Can they be had as spares?

Small, may havesomething that will act as a decent replacement if you need it, the rod can travel a fair distance too ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Yeah, the second bearing was miles away. Part of me is wishing I hadn't done this outside.
