I am trying to overhaul a 1st Gen. black Dura Ace front hub. I got 20 3/16 grade 25 ball bearings from my LBS. Even with Campagnolo sticky grease, I couldn't get them all to sit in place while I tried to get the second cone screwed on. The rear was no problem.
We verified that the old BB were 3/16 and double checked in a Barrett's manual.
I don't remember any other hub being this difficult to overhaul. I'll admit that I wasn't using a vice due to the heat in my garage. Is there something that I'm missing?
