easy way to get your balls in

[PVanWig@aol.com]

<< Replacing the balls/springs is the only 2 person job on the tranny. My
 wife is very good at it now. Or there is a service tool but I hold 2
 balls, she holds 1 and I push it into position. Not that hard.
  >>
I use a hose clamp just tight enough to move with a hole in it. Load the 
spring and ball and hold down with a small screw driver then rotate the clamp.

I also have an old clutch center to hold with vice grips to hold the shaft's 
with to tighten the nuts.
