Clutch operating camshaft thingy - worn or normal?

(1/3) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
At first glance I thought this was badly worn but looking at the part picture on DS it looks like its how they are designed!
When I reassemble it is there any point in packing it with grease or will the oil in the clutch somehow provide lubrication?

Trigger:
This is normal. As long as the balls in the cage are perfectly round, no rust or flat spots just a smear of grease on the balls is needed. Also remember to change the o'ring  ;)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The balls are in pretty poor condition not sure what size they are perhaps DS sells them.

Trigger:
They have not been available for years. PM Julie as i will have some somewhere.

I've measured them up they are 10 mm bearings - my brother should have some that size - if not I will contact NJ. Thanks

Not sure about the O ring its a small critter do you know the size by any chance?
