I have a 71-f100, I was replacing the seals on my gearbox I turned the worm to far off of the cylinder and.......
OPPS, ALL OF THE BALL BEARING FELL OUT

I found most of them, I think. Am I screwed now? Can I just pop the ball bearings back in?

Thanks

I saw gearbox and thought he meant tranny.

How many of the ***** do you have? Unless you dropped them on the ground you should be able to recover them all.
