While removing my engine to repair a head, the ball bearings fell out of one of my cv joints. The engine is back in, and I'v been trying to get these bearings back in the cv. I've cussed fussed and ate plenty of grease working under the car trying to get these things back in. What am I doing wrong. I went to the manual, and I understand the spacing is in groups of two, not equidistant, but I still can't get this back together. I did a search, and I apologize if this has been answered already. I am extremely frustrated right now.
