I hope I can find an answer here. I'm replacing my front axles. Since it was leaking transmission fluid I was told I should replace the seals as well. After removing the driver side axle seal from the transmission, a bunch of little pin bearings started falling out. I tried putting them back onto their track one by one, but the upper ones kept falling out. Anyone know how to fix this issue? As usual, it was suppose to be an easy job that has now turned into a big headache.

 

If I was trying to reuse them, to get them to stay I would clean the race out, then apply some bearing grease in there with my finger. Nothing to crazy, just enough to cause to bearings to remain put. Been there done that, no no no, not the mile high club (that was in my best ZZP Top voice), get you head back in the game, we are talking about bearings. Obviously I have lost my military bearing, so should someone see it, lmk.

 

I'll give it a try. Thanks for the advice.
