I drained the oil and it was brown, nothing like oil at all. on looking itnto the box there was lots of brown goo which needed removing. All was washed out in petrol from the shaft end and when the petrol was shaken about and drained numerous ball bearings were washed out as well. I have gone on to remove the other 2 plates and have an understanding on how the system works. My problem is loading the inner 21 bearings.Does 10 go to the front and 11 to the back or are they stacked one row above the other. Photo number 8 from top down does not clearly show where they go. Why is there that odd 1 ball (41) and where does it go. I am stumped and hope you can read this and reply. Would love to see a photo or 2 of the restored 2.4.

I know a fellow who has a running MK II who is complaining of stiffer steering after getting it inspected. Could the balls be worn out or could too heavy of an oil have been put in it?
