Franz,
To add to Dan comments, The rubber ball is good but does not last long. The oil attackes the rubber and it turns to goo. Check the ball with every oil change and replace it at least once a year regaurdless. With those bolts, I use a forged shaft philips screw driver, some leverage, a little heat and a lot of patience. When you go to put it back together, books recommend replacing the felt block oiled but I think that is for the original set up. With the rubber ball put the felt in dry and grease up the ball. The grease attacks the rubber too but not like the oil. Does anyone run theirs dry?
This is what I've noticed with these things,
GW
