I just took it back apart, it appears that a pin fell out of its place and played havoc on my balls. Now my balls are all scuffed up. The two races (I assume thats what I'm looking at- the silver donuts with the concaved inside for the balls to ride in) both have guide holes and there's two pins, ones just a bit longer than the other. The race in the "hubcap" disk seems to be fused in place but still has the guide pin hole. This hole is fairly deep, I had the slightly longer pin in this hole. The shorter pin was in the guide hole on the race were the shims are located. This is the one that came out. I'm not sure what to do about this... if I put it together again the same way, nothing is to stop it from happening again. Also, what are the ramifications of using scuffed balls? BTW- my tension on the impeller was about 22" lbs.
