[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 128414, member: 82"] Pretty sure i installed new balls without pulling the spool, you only need to remove the end cap, there will likely be wear grooves in it, so you will likely want to replace that too, this is the part that is retained with a clip into the aluminium end cap. I used a heavy cable tie to compress the spring with the two balls and slide the hosing on, then cut the tie when it was seated deep enough, access isn't great, but it is doable, and you don't need to pull the spool to do it. Oh, to hold the balls on the spring, use grease, it helps prevent them falling off. Good luck [/QUOTE]
