I suspect something like that will be the official tool to do this job but a normal ring compressor would probably be too thick and get in the way. I found that I could tilt the ring enough to hold the ball in against the spring on one side and then gently slip the other side over the rest of the gubbins. After about the 20th try and well over an hour searching for the fugitive ball bearing. It goes off like a Saturn V if you slip. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
