I've just dissassembeled the freewheel body (Suntour PL, steel body alloy cogs) and forgot to count the number of bearings in the outer race before pulling the center out and the bearings from both races going all over the place. Am I alone or are some of you thinking "been there, done that." So, now everything is all cleaned up and ready to assemble but I need to know how many bearings in total I should have and how many go in the outer race and how many into the inner race.

Seems like I do something like this at least twice a year. When will I learn?

Thanks in advance to anyone with info,
