[QUOTE="KyMadMan, post: 128344, member: 2826"] The detent locked and would not release. Fun ahead! I had replaced the detent sleeve about 5 years ago when I rebuilt the control valve. This machine doesn't get constant use and doubt I put more than 100 hrs on it since then. I was able to free the detent with the control in the machine. Did not replace parts yet as I can run the machine as is with no detent lock. Questions: When I do go to replace the ball bearings, spring, detent sleeve I'll probably have to remove the spool from the control valve to do so. Should I plan on replacing seals or will they be ok since they are fairly new. Not sure if sliding the spool out would cause damage. Has anyone had any luck installing the ball bearings while in the machine using a wire tie, hose clamp etc, to hold the balls in place to slide the sleeve back on? Lastly, what is the best thing/way to lube the sleeve. Not sure the life expectancy of this part, but should be longer than what it was this time. [/QUOTE]
