The rattle-mesh slides off easily. 1983 Ford Bronco - The bearing pops loose from the spring, but be sure to replace it in this direction. 1983 Ford Bronco - There's a black plastic rattle sleeve under the spring that should be captive (NOT removable) under the rivet. 1983 Ford Bronco - The large black bearings support the weight of the cover, and should slide freely inside the drum up to the punched tab stops. 1983 Ford Bronco - The bearings at the L end inside the drum is usually jammed onto its stops due to the spring pressure, but it can be driven out using the t… 1983 Ford Bronco - Cross-section of the drum tube.

The draw rod & torque rod are fine. 1983 Ford Bronco - The roller assembly is ready to have the colored parts added, beginning with the cover.
