Yes, follow that video. It’s easy enough. I actually use 3.5mm Si3N4 ceramic detent ball. Amazon has them.

Thanks for posting the video link. I should be able to do that once I get the 9/64th ball. A guy would think that if he replaced the original extractor and ball with a stock ball, spring, and extractor from Savage, he'll prolly eventually experience the same problem over again!?

I've tried some local hardware stores and can't come up with a 9/64" steel ball! I guess I can scour the bike shops next!

Here. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=9%2F64+steel+ball&ref=is_s

You can also use 3.5mm which is less than .004” of the .140” 9/64. I use a 3.5mm Silicon Nitride ball. Much harder than steel and almost indestructible.

LOL! Rob....too funny brother!! LOL!

I got this Shuz. https://www.amazon.com/3-5-CERAMIC-BALL-SI3N4-GRADE/dp/B00E8LUGZQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=3.5mm+ceramic+ball+be aring&qid=1561223347&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

But you may want to grab a few “just in case”. Pretty easy to lose it. They are sold in packets of 10 for just a couple dollars more. I was certain I would not lose it so only got one. But I have done this many times.

[Robinhood]

I found packs of 100 on fleabay. I may do that so you guys that let your balls roll off can PM me for a replacement. :cool:

[Shuz]

Would one of you folks be willing to send me 5 of those balls for $5.00?

[Dave Hoback]

You can’t order it from the link I gave you? It’s Amazon. Who doesn’t use Amazon??

Oops! I guess i missed that link! I just didn't wanna havta buy 100/ea as i saw on one link.
Thanks for the heads up! I'm now worried about where my head might reside!:noidea:

[Dave Hoback]

And this is 10 of the SS 9/64”. https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Precision-Stainless-Steel-Bearing/dp/B07QC135BH/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=9%2F64+steel+ball&qid=1561567125&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

May want to work with the bolt head in a see thru plastic bag, them little balls sure do like to fly around.

[Robinhood]
