Can't fault NZ Asia trading on there service only spoke on the phone yesterday afternoon, the ball bearings arrived today.
Straight into it had to tap the bearing in with a bit of persuasion I used a small hammer and a flat blade screw driver to seat it.
Then came removing the sleeve with the stopper and this was easy enough to gently pry off working my way round with a flat blade screw driver.
Putti g the sleeve back on so that the zero lined up with the zero stop took a couple of attempts and a tiny bit of lube to help, I pushed it on by hand as far as I could then used a flat punch and small hammer to gently seat the sleeve back down flush.
Very pleased with the results.
