Deano400:
Not a great picture but this is what Julie is pointing to.
Oggers:
Nurse - yes quite right, had a look. I think what has happenned is that I stuck the minute ball bearing in the recess without the spring - as I seem to have that minute spring right in front of me! I'm a fool I know! Poking about with a bit of wire, i thing the ball bearing is still in there. Tried blue tack on the end of a wire, tried araldite, but as I greased everything it just won't adhere and pull it out.
The only thing I can think of is drill a small hole from the other side and poke it out with a bit of stiff wire!
Any other clues gratefully apppreciated!

However you go about it, its an awkward little fix but at least its nothing major and once the spring and ball bearing are in situ, hopefully that should resolve the problem you are having.
Oggers:
Awkward is right! I am not tipping the bike on its side to get the ball out!
Thanks for the confirmation in any case.
Oggie400F:
Why not try blasting it out with the small red tube from the WD40 down the hole?
Just make sure you have a suitable tray in place to catch it if it flies out.
