Here we are ready to proceed with taking the car apart. A couple of towels will help you catch the loose bearing that you will have.

Traveler
I have rolled the traveler over and taken the screws out of the bearing races on the side of the car.

Using a rod to push the bearing races out of the car

The race sliding out of the car

Replacing the balls after replacement or cleaning

Traveler
Once you have all the balls in place masking tape over the assembly so you can do the other side

Traveler
Here the race is inverted and I am starting to load the other side

Traveler
Now I am placing tape on the second side to hold in these balls

Another view of the above process

Taping completed you will now be able to move the assembly over to the car

Race ready to go back into the car

As you slowly slide the race back into the car back ease the tape off as the balls and race go into the car. WHAT FUN! You only need to do this 6 times!
