Furlex part 3

Well now you have the cable out and the cone is not damaged ,right. Otherwise its going to cost you more money

The swivel unit consist of an upper and lower bearing race.with 4 half housings
This part will require some duct tape and a place to assemble without loosing any of the 68 ball bearings that you have in your zip lock bag when you took the thing apart and it fell all over the place.
Work in an area where you can recover these bearings easily when you drop them, and you will.
There are 34 ball bearings for each assembly.
take the lower and upper race and tape them together lightly ,
Do NOT wrap the tape around the housing at all just make sure both ends just come together
Now from the top drop each ball into its race, when done put hand pressure on the top race and slowly remove the duct tape, holding both halves securely place the housing on to the lower bearing assembly and drop the swivel unit on top.DO NOT play with it leave it alone Or you will be starting all over again.
assemble the upper bearing in the same manner. Dont attempt to try and place the ball bearings into the upper unit by themselves , while it may look tempting you will not get the upper cone on and some of the bearings will fall into the assembly and then you have st start all over again with both the upper and the lower units
Use the duct tape sparingly put a bit of pressure on the assembly when you pull the tape off and all should be fine.

Now slip the locking cone over the top, Dont forget the two nuts that hold the countersink screws in place.

The sandpaper collar did not work but it was a nice try

This should complete the assembly of the lower unit which is now ready to accept the new cable and the aluminum extrusions.
We will talk about those in part 4
