Aaargghh!!!

Disassembling a possibly serviceable HII BB. Non-drive side- the cap thing came off and the ball bearings spilled everywhere.

I've got them back, but having a hard time getting the BB's to sit in where they should and getting the cap back on. There always seem to be 1 or 2 that won't play ball.

Tips?

Pair of tweezers/forceps and a squeeze of grease to bed them in?

When you can buy a new HtII BB for a tenner, is it worth the faff?

Just had a similar problem, thought "sod it" and got a new one, fitted it in minutes...BOSH!

Plenty of grease to stick them to and then tweezers to place them.
